29
FAUCET Score

CVE-2008-3179 describes a directory traversal vulnerability in Web 2 Business (W2B) phpDatingClub 3.7, specifically within the website.php component. This flaw allows remote attackers to include and execute arbitrary local files by manipulating the 'page' parameter with a ".. (dot dot)" sequence. With a CVSS score of 7.5, this vulnerability is considered highly severe due to its low attack complexity, requiring no authentication, and potentially leading to full compromise (confidentiality, integrity, and availability). While not listed in CISA's KEV catalog, an ExploitDB entry (EDB-6037) confirms the existence of public exploit code, though there is minimal community discussion or media coverage surrounding this older vulnerability.
