CVE-2008-6490

31
FAUCET Score

CVE-2008-6490 describes a critical file overwrite vulnerability in FLABER 1.1 and earlier, specifically within the function/update_xml.php script. This flaw allows unauthenticated remote attackers to overwrite arbitrary files by manipulating the 'target_file' parameter, potentially leading to remote code execution if a PHP file is targeted. With a CVSS score of 7.5 (high severity) and a FAUCET Risk Score of 90/100, the vulnerability is easily exploitable over the network with low attack complexity, posing a significant risk of data compromise, integrity loss, and system availability issues. While not on the KEV catalog and lacking Metasploit/Nuclei modules, an ExploitDB entry (EDB-5407) confirms proof-of-concept exploit code exists, though community discussion and media coverage are minimal.
