PHP remote file inclusion vulnerability in install.php3 in @cid stats 2.3 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code via a URL in the repertoire parameter. NOTE: this issue has been disputed by a third party, who states that install.php3 is supposed to be deleted after installation and, if not deleted, intentionally allows setting repertoire without an inclusion attack

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2006-5899 concerns a claimed remote file inclusion issue in @cid stats 2.3. If the installer file remains publicly reachable, an attacker may be able to make the application load remote PHP code. The issue is disputed because a third party said the installer is meant to be deleted after installation and the behavior may be intentional. Exposure appears limited to legacy @cid stats 2.3 deployments where install.php3 still exists and is reachable from the web after installation. The source bundle does not provide package identifiers, CPEs, supported platforms, or a vendor advisory. Prioritize discovery over emergency response. This is an old, disputed CVE with no KEV signal, but exposed installer files on legacy PHP applications can create serious business risk if still reachable. Mitigation focus: Check whether @cid stats 2.3 is still present anywhere.; Remove or block public access to install.php3 after installation.; Check vendor or maintainer guidance before assuming a patch exists..
