CVE-2008-4718
Directory traversal vulnerability in help/mini.php in X7 Chat 2.0.1 A1 and earlier allows remote attackers to include and execute arbitrary local files via directory traversal sequences in the help_file parameter, a different vector than CVE-2006-2156.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.67%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
