CVE-2008-4767
Unrestricted file upload vulnerability in the DownloadsPlus module in PHP-Nuke allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by uploading a file with (1) .htm, (2) .html, or (3) .txt extensions, then accessing it via a direct request to the file.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (4.21%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
