Status: ModifiedHigh (7.5)—

phpMyBackupPro 2.5 and earlier does not properly escape the "." character in request parameters, which allows remote authenticated users with knowledge of a web-accessible and web-writeable directory on the target system to inject and execute arbitrary PHP scripts by injecting scripts via the path, filename, and dirs parameters to scheduled.php, and making requests to injected scripts.

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).
