CVE-2005-2781
The Avatar upload feature in FUD Forum before 2.7.0 does not properly verify uploaded files, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code via a file with a .php extension that contains image data followed by PHP code.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.89%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
