CVE-2025-48471
This allows files to be uploaded with the phtml and phar extensions, which can lead to remote code execution if the Apache web server is used.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.11%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
