CVE-2006-4004
Status: ModifiedMedium (6.4)—💥 Exploit
Directory traversal vulnerability in index.php in vbPortal 3.0.2 through 3.6.0 Beta 1, when magic_quotes_gpc is disabled, allows remote attackers to include and execute arbitrary local files via directory traversal sequences in the bbvbplang cookie, as demonstrated by injecting PHP sequences into an Apache HTTP Server log file, which is then included by index.php.
CVSS
- Version: 2.0
- Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:N
- Base score: 6.4
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 2.94%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 87
- Score date: 10/11/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
💥 Public exploits
Exploit code or detection templates are publicly available. This is not the same as confirmed active exploitation (KEV), but it raises the risk: patch with priority.
