Phprojekt · Phprojekt · CVE-2006-4609
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
PHProjekt version 0.6.1
**Description**
The issue allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code via the `path pre` parameter in several PHP files, including `cm lib.inc.php`, `doc/br.edithelp.php`, `doc/de.edithelp.php`, `doc/ct.edithelp.php`, `userrating.php`, and `listing.php`, when `register globals` is enabled. However, the impact of some vectors has been disputed, with claims that the `cm lib.inc.php` vector is limited to local file inclusion and that the `path pre` variable is initialized before use in the other vectors.
**Recommendations**
For PHProjekt version 0.6.1, consider disabling the `register globals` setting to prevent exploitation. Additionally, restrict access to the affected PHP files until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, avoid using the `path pre` parameter in the affected API endpoints until the issue is resolved. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
