Does this matter?

High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.98%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.

Description

A remote PHP code execution vulnerability exists in InstantCMS version 1.6 and earlier due to unsafe use of eval() within the search view handler. Specifically, user-supplied input passed via the look parameter is concatenated into a PHP expression and executed without proper sanitation. A remote attacker can exploit this flaw by sending a crafted HTTP GET request with a base64-encoded payload in the Cmd header, resulting in arbitrary PHP code execution within the context of the web server.
