NOTE: this can be leveraged to upload and possibly execute arbitrary files via config.inc.php in the ImageManager plugin.","published":"2010-05-12T11:46:40.000Z","lastModified":"2026-06-16T23:19:35.000Z","status":"Modified","sourceIdentifier":"cve@mitre.org","cvss":{"version":"2.0","score":7.5,"severity":"HIGH","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P"},"cwe":["CWE-264"],"affected":["xinha/wysiwyg editor","s9y/serendipity"],"epss":{"score":0.03262,"percentile":0.88292,"date":"2026-10-26","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"high","text":"High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (3.26%).
