Php · Phpgedview · CVE-2004-0030
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
PHPGEDVIEW version 2.61
**Description**
The issue allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code by modifying the `PGV BASE DIRECTORY` parameter to reference a URL on a remote web server that contains the code. This is possible due to a remote file inclusion vulnerability in files such as functions.php, authentication index.php, and config gedcom.php.
**Recommendations**
For PHPGEDVIEW version 2.61, consider restricting access to the `PGV BASE DIRECTORY` parameter to prevent modification and minimize the risk of exploitation. Additionally, as a temporary workaround, consider disabling the execution of remote PHP code in the affected files until a patch is available. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
