CVE-2006-1015 EXPLOIT
6.4
MEDIUM · CVSS 2.0 · EPSS 12.4% (pctl 96)
Patch early
A public exploit exists.
Description
Argument injection vulnerability in certain PHP 3.x, 4.x, and 5.x applications, when used with sendmail and when accepting remote input for the additional_parameters argument to the mail function, allows remote attackers to read and create arbitrary files via the sendmail -C and -X arguments. NOTE: it could be argued that this is a class of technology-specific vulnerability, instead of a particular instance; if so, then this should not be included in CVE.
