CVE-2007-2252 describes a directory traversal vulnerability in Exponent CMS versions 0.96.6 Alpha and earlier, specifically within the iconspopup.php component. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this by manipulating the 'icodir' parameter with dot-dot sequences to access arbitrary directories and obtain sensitive information. While the CVSS score is 5.0 (medium severity) with a low attack complexity and no authentication required, there is no evidence of active exploitation, and it is not listed in CISA's KEV catalog. Exploit code exists on ExploitDB, but there is minimal community discussion or media coverage surrounding this decade-old vulnerability.
