CVE-2008-5878

23
FAUCET Score

CVE-2008-5878 describes multiple directory traversal vulnerabilities in Phpclanwebsite (PCW) version 1.23.3 Fix Pack 5 and earlier. These flaws allow remote attackers to include and execute arbitrary files by manipulating the 'boxname' and 'theme' parameters, particularly when PHP's magic_quotes_gpc is disabled and register_globals is enabled. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 5.1, indicating a medium severity with a network attack vector, high attack complexity, and potential for partial confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts. While there is no evidence of active exploitation or Metasploit/Nuclei modules, an ExploitDB entry (EDB-7515) confirms the existence of exploit code, though community discussion and media coverage are minimal.
