PHProjekt 2.0 through 3.1 relies on the $PHP_SELF variable for authentication, which allows remote attackers to bypass authentication for scripts via a request to a .php file with "sms" in the URL, which is included in the PATH_INFO portion of the $PHP_SELF variable, as demonstrated using "mail_send.php/sms".

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old PHProjekt authentication bypass. A remote user could cause certain scripts to be treated as exempt from login by influencing how the application interpreted the requested PHP path. Business risk exists only where PHProjekt 2.0 through 3.1 remains deployed. Exposure is limited to legacy PHProjekt 2.0 through 3.1 installations, especially internet-facing PHP deployments. The source bundle does not provide CPEs, affected operating systems, or current prevalence data. Prioritize only if PHProjekt is still present. If found on an internet-facing system, treat it as a legacy application risk requiring removal, upgrade, or isolation because authentication controls may be bypassable. Mitigation focus: Inventory for PHProjekt 2.0 through 3.1 deployments.; Retire or upgrade any affected PHProjekt instance per vendor guidance.; Restrict public access to legacy PHProjekt until reviewed..
