CVE-2006-4269
PHP remote file inclusion vulnerability in admin.x-shop.php in the x-shop component (com_x-shop) 1.7 and earlier for Mambo and Joomla! allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code via a URL in the mosConfig_absolute_path parameter.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.80%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
