NOTE: this issue has been disputed by third parties, who state that Squirrelmail provides prominent warnings to the administrator when register_globals is enabled.  Since the varieties of administrator negligence are uncountable, perhaps this type of issue should not be included in CVE.  However, the original developer has posted a security advisory, so there might be relevant real-world environments under which this vulnerability is applicable","published":"2006-06-06T20:06:00.000Z","lastModified":"2026-06-16T22:25:53.000Z","status":"Modified","sourceIdentifier":"cve@mitre.org","cvss":{"version":"2.0","score":7.5,"severity":"HIGH","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P"},"cwe":[],"affected":["squirrelmail/squirrelmail"],"epss":{"score":0.47196,"percentile":0.98828,"date":"2026-10-26","history":[{"date":"2026-09-28","score":0.44016,"percentile":0.98709},{"date":"2026-10-04","score":0.47196,"percentile":0.98804}]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":1,"verified":true,"firstPublished":"2006-06-02","source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[{"edbId":27948,"kind":"exploit","title":"Squirrelmail 1.4.x - 'Redirect.php' Local File Inclusion","url":"https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/27948","sourceUrl":"https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb/-/blob/main/exploits/php/webapps/27948.txt","file":"exploits/php/webapps/27948.txt","published":"2006-06-02","added":"2006-06-02","updated":"2013-08-30","author":"brokejunker","type":"webapps","platform":"php","port":null,"verified":true,"codes":["CVE-2006-2842","OSVDB-25973"],"tags":null,"aliases":null,"applicationUrl":null,"screenshotUrl":null,"referenceUrl":"https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/18231/info"}]},"verdict":{"level":"urgent","text":"EPSS puts the probability of exploitation in the next 30 days at 47.2%, higher than 99% of all known CVEs.
