CVE-2006-2866
PHP remote file inclusion vulnerability in layout/prepend.php in DotClear 1.2.4 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code via a FTP URL in the blog_dc_path parameter, which passes file_exists() and is_dir() tests on PHP 5.
Does this matter?
A public exploit is published in Exploit-DB (verified), so the technical barrier is gone even though the severity is medium and EPSS is 3.2%. Treat it as high on anything reachable from the internet.
