29
FAUCET Score

CVE-2008-5919 describes a directory traversal vulnerability in WebSVN 2.0 and earlier versions, specifically within the rss.php component. This flaw allows unauthenticated remote attackers to overwrite arbitrary files on the server by injecting directory traversal sequences into the 'rev' parameter, provided the magic_quotes_gpc PHP setting is disabled. With a CVSS score of 6.8, this vulnerability is of medium severity, indicating a network-based attack with medium complexity that can lead to partial confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts. While there is no evidence of active exploitation or Metasploit/Nuclei modules, an ExploitDB entry (EDB-6822) exists, suggesting proof-of-concept code for related issues, though community discussion and media coverage are minimal.
