Argument injection vulnerability in certain PHP 4.x and 5.x applications, when used with sendmail and when accepting remote input for the additional_parameters argument to the mb_send_mail function, allows context-dependent attackers to read and create arbitrary files by providing extra -C and -X arguments to sendmail. NOTE: it could be argued that this is a class of technology-specific vulnerability, instead of a particular instance; if so, then this should not be included in CVE.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This CVE describes a risky pattern in older PHP applications: user input could be passed into mail-sending parameters and interpreted by sendmail as extra options. In affected designs, attackers may read or create files. The record is context-dependent and may represent a vulnerability class rather than one named product defect. Exposure is limited to legacy PHP 4.x or 5.x applications that call mb_send_mail with sendmail and accept remote input into additional_parameters. The source bundle lists no specific affected product, package version, or CPE. Prioritize assessment only where legacy PHP mail code still exists. This is not a broad modern platform emergency based on the provided evidence, but affected public-facing mail forms could expose sensitive files or enable file creation. Mitigation focus: Inventory legacy PHP applications using mb_send_mail and sendmail.; Remove untrusted input from the additional_parameters argument.; Hardcode or eliminate optional sendmail parameters where possible..
