CVE-2004-2692
The exec_dir PHP patch (php-exec-dir) 4.3.2 through 4.3.7 with safe mode disabled allows remote attackers to bypass restrictions and execute arbitrary commands via a backtick operator, which is not handled using the php_escape_shell_cmd function.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (4.51%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
