CVE Descriptions

The php_check_safe_mode_include_dir function in fopen_wrappers.c of PHP 4.3.x returns a success value (0) when the safe_mode_include_dir variable is not specified in configuration, which differs from the previous failure value and may allow remote attackers to exploit file include vulnerabilities in PHP applications.

EPSS

EPSS is a scoring model that predicts the likelihood of a vulnerability being exploited.

EPSS Score

The EPSS model produces a probability score between 0 and 1 (0 and 100%). The higher the score, the greater the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited.

EPSS Percentile

The percentile is used to rank CVE according to their EPSS score. For example, a CVE in the 95th percentile according to its EPSS score is more likely to be exploited than 95% of other CVE. Thus, the percentile is used to compare the EPSS score of a CVE with that of other CVE.

source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/8201/info PHP is prone to an issue that may allow programs to bypass Safe Mode by calling external files in restricted directories using include() and require(). The problem is known to occur when the safe_mode_include_dir PHP directive is not defined. A logic error reportedly exists which could result in PHP failing to run a security check when attempting to access a file via an include() or require() call, potentially bypassing the Safe Mode model. This could allow unauthorized access or policy bypass in environments that use Safe Mode, such as in cases where a web server resource is shared by multiple users. This issue is reported to exist in PHP versions 4.3.0 and later. <? echo("trying to read /etc/passwd"); include("/etc/passwd"); ?>
