Multiple directory traversal vulnerabilities in phpCDB 1.0 and earlier allow remote attackers to include and execute arbitrary local files via a .. (dot dot) in the lang_global parameter to (1) firstvisit.php, (2) newfolder.php, (3) showfolders.php, (4) newlang.php, (5) showinnerfolder.php, (6) writecode.php, and (7) showcode.php.

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.
