The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a code injection vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-94. The product constructs all or part of a code segment using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the syntax or behavior of the intended code segment. As an impact it is known to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

Eval injection vulnerability in sessions.inc in PHP Base Library (PHPLib) before 7.4a, when index.php3 from the PHPLib distribution is available on the server, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code by including a base64-encoded representation of the code in a cookie. NOTE: this description was significantly updated on 20060605 to reflect new details after an initial vague advisory.

The weakness was disclosed 02/23/2006 by James Bercegay with Gulftech (Website). The advisory is shared at sourceforge.net. This vulnerability is known as CVE-2006-0887 since 02/25/2006. The exploitation appears to be easy. The attack can be launched remotely. The exploitation doesn't need any form of authentication. Technical details and also a public exploit are known. MITRE ATT&CK project uses the attack technique T1059 for this issue.

A public exploit has been developed by GulfTech Security and been published 11 years after the advisory. It is possible to download the exploit at exploit-db.com. It is declared as proof-of-concept.

Upgrading to version 7.4a eliminates this vulnerability.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at X-Force (24873), Exploit-DB (43838), SecurityFocus (BID 16801†), OSVDB (23466†) and Secunia (SA16902†). The entry VDB-30643 is pretty similar. Several companies clearly confirm that VulDB is the primary source for best vulnerability data.
