CVE-2009-2176

31
FAUCET Score

CVE-2009-2176 describes multiple directory traversal vulnerabilities in fuzzylime CMS versions 3.03a and earlier, specifically when the magic_quotes_gpc setting is disabled. This flaw allows unauthenticated remote attackers to include and execute arbitrary local files by injecting directory traversal sequences into the 'list' parameter of code/confirm.php or the 'template' parameter of code/display.php. With a CVSS score of 7.5, this vulnerability is considered highly severe due to its low attack complexity and potential for complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. While not listed on the KEV catalog, an ExploitDB entry (EDB-8978) confirms the existence of public exploit code, and community discussion indicates some awareness, though active exploitation is not confirmed.
