CVE-2008-3371
Directory traversal vulnerability in install/help.php in TalkBack 2.3.5, and other versions before 2.3.6.2, allows remote attackers to include and execute arbitrary local files via directory traversal sequences in the language parameter.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (3.54%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
