A regression error in the phpinfo function in PHP 4.4.3 to 4.4.6, and PHP 6.0 in CVS, allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via GET, POST, or COOKIE array values, which are not escaped in the phpinfo output, as originally fixed for CVE-2005-3388.

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.
