Status: ModifiedHigh (8.8)—💥 Exploit

A Command Execution vulnerability exists in Sphider Plus 3.2 due to insufficient sanitization of fwrite to conf.php, which could let a remote malicious user execute arbitrary code. CVE-2014-5085 pertains to instances of fwrite in Sphider Plus, but do not exist in either Sphider or Sphider Pro.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

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.
