CVE-2011-0405

Status: ModifiedMedium (6.8)—💥 Exploit

Directory traversal vulnerability in module.php in PhpGedView 4.2.3 and possibly other versions, when magic_quotes_gpc is disabled, allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via directory traversal sequences in the pgvaction parameter.

CVSS

Version: 2.0
Vector: AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
Base score: 6.8

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 6.05%
Percentile among all scored CVEs: 93
Score date: 10/13/2026

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.
