CVE-2007-3378

21
FAUCET Score

CVE-2007-3378 describes a vulnerability in PHP versions 4.4.7 and earlier, and 5.2.3 and earlier, where specific functions (session_save_path, ini_set, error_log) invoked via .htaccess files can bypass safe_mode and open_basedir restrictions. This medium-severity vulnerability (CVSS 6.8) allows remote attackers to potentially execute arbitrary commands, requiring medium attack complexity. Despite its potential impact, there is no evidence of active exploitation, no known public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), and minimal community discussion or media coverage.
