CVE-2007-2985

Status: ModifiedHigh (10)—💥 Exploit

Pheap 2.0 allows remote attackers to bypass authentication by setting a pheap_login cookie value to the administrator's username, which can be used to (1) obtain sensitive information, including the administrator password, via settings.php or (2) upload and execute arbitrary PHP code via an update_doc action in edit.php.

CVSS

Version: 2.0
Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
Base score: 10

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 4.17%
Percentile among all scored CVEs: 91
Score date: 10/8/2026

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.
