49
FAUCET Score

CVE-2018-13981 describes an unauthenticated remote code execution vulnerability affecting websites built with Zeta Producer Desktop CMS versions prior to 14.2.1. This critical flaw (CVSS 9.8) allows attackers to upload arbitrary PHP files, including .php5 or .phtml extensions, bypassing the formmailer widget's .php file block, leading to complete compromise of the affected system. While not listed on the KEV catalog or showing active exploitation, public exploit code exists, and its high EPSS score indicates a significant likelihood of future exploitation.
