CVSS Meta Temp Score
CVSS is a standardized scoring system to determine possibilities of attacks. The Temp Score considers temporal factors like disclosure, exploit and countermeasures. The unique Meta Score calculates the average score of different sources to provide a normalized scoring system.
Current Exploit Price (≈)
Our analysts are monitoring exploit markets and are in contact with vulnerability brokers. The range indicates the observed or calculated exploit price to be seen on exploit markets. A good indicator to understand the monetary effort required for and the popularity of an attack.
CTI Interest Score
Our Cyber Threat Intelligence team is monitoring different web sites, mailing lists, exploit markets and social media networks. The CTI Interest Score identifies the interest of attackers and the security community for this specific vulnerability in real-time. A high score indicates an elevated risk to be targeted for this vulnerability.

Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in PHPKIT 1.6.02/1.6.03/1.6.1 (Content Management System). It has been declared as critical. This vulnerability affects an unknown function of the file include.php. The manipulation of the argument path with an unknown input leads to a path traversal vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-22. The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory. As an impact it is known to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

Directory traversal vulnerability in PHPKIT 1.6.1 R2 and earlier might allow remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary PHP code via a .. (dot dot) in the path parameter and a %00 at the end of the filename, as demonstrated by an avatar filename ending with .png%00.

The bug was discovered 09/30/2005. The weakness was shared 11/07/2005 by Christopher Kunz, Johann-Peter Hartmann, Stefan Esser and Stefan Walk (Website).
