CVE-2017-5520
The media rename feature in GeniXCMS through 0.0.8 does not consider alternative PHP file extensions when checking uploaded files for PHP content, which enables a user to rename and execute files with the `.php6`, `.php7` and `.phtml` extensions.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.77%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
