CVE-2008-1989

36
FAUCET Score

CVE-2008-1989 describes a critical remote file inclusion vulnerability in the 123 Flash Chat 6.8.0 module for e107, specifically within the 123flashchat.php script when PHP's register_globals is enabled. This flaw allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code by manipulating the e107path parameter. With a CVSS score of 10.0, this vulnerability presents a severe risk due to its network-based attack vector, low complexity, and complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. While there is no evidence of active exploitation or Metasploit/Nuclei modules, an ExploitDB entry (EDB-5459) confirms the existence of public exploit code, though community discussion and media coverage remain minimal.
