The admin.php file in Rantx allows remote attackers to bypass authentication and gain privileges by setting the logininfo cookie to "<?php" or "?>", which is present in the password file and probably passes an insufficient comparison.

Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.45%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
