CVE-2018-17418
Monstra CMS 3.0.4 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code via a mixed-case file extension, as demonstrated by the 123.PhP filename, because plugins\box\filesmanager\filesmanager.admin.php mishandles the forbidden_types variable.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (3.07%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
