CVE-2006-0755: Multiple PHP remote file include vulnerabilities in dotProject 2.0.1 and earlier, when register_globals is...

Multiple PHP remote file include vulnerabilities in dotProject 2.0.1 and earlier, when register_globals is enabled, allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via the baseDir parameter in (1) db_adodb.php, (2) db_connect.php, (3) session.php, (4) vw_usr_roles.php, (5) calendar.php, (6) date_format.php, and (7) tasks/gantt.php; and the dPconfig[root_dir] parameter in (8) projects/gantt.php, (9) gantt2.php, and (10) vw_files.php. NOTE: the vendor disputes this issue, stating that the product documentation clearly recommends that the system administrator disable register_globals, and that the check.php script warns against this setting. Also, the vendor says that the protection.php/siteurl vector is incorrect because protection.php does not exist in the product

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2006-0755 concerns old dotProject installations, version 2.0.1 and earlier, running PHP with register_globals enabled. In that unsafe configuration, attackers may be able to make the application include remote files and run commands. The vendor disputed parts of the report and said documentation warned administrators to disable register_globals. Exposure is most likely in legacy dotProject 2.0.1 or earlier deployments still reachable on the internet or intranet and using PHP register_globals. Modern environments are less likely affected because register_globals is obsolete, but forgotten legacy project-management systems remain plausible. Treat this as a legacy-system exposure review, not a current emergency by default. Prioritize if dotProject is still deployed, externally reachable, or running old PHP settings. The business risk is higher where project-management data or administrative sessions are exposed. Mitigation focus: Inventory any dotProject deployments and confirm exact version.; Verify PHP register_globals is disabled wherever dotProject runs.; Review vendor guidance before relying on any patch assumption..
