CVE-2006-6426: PHP remote file inclusion vulnerability in design/thinkedit/render.php in ThinkEdit 1.9.2 and earlier, when...

Security readout for executives and security teams

ThinkEdit 1.9.2 and earlier can let an attacker make the server run attacker-controlled PHP when a legacy PHP setting, register_globals, is enabled. This is a serious remote code execution risk for old ThinkEdit deployments, especially if the vulnerable render.php file is reachable from the internet. Exposure is likely limited to legacy ThinkEdit 1.9.2 or earlier installations running PHP with register_globals enabled. Internet-facing systems exposing design/thinkedit/render.php are the main concern. Modern PHP environments are less likely to have the prerequisite setting available. Prioritize this where legacy ThinkEdit is internet-facing or business-critical. The affected software is old, but the impact is direct server compromise if the configuration prerequisite is met. If ThinkEdit is not deployed, document non-exposure and close. Mitigation focus: Inventory and remove any ThinkEdit 1.9.2 or earlier deployments.; Ensure PHP register_globals is disabled wherever legacy PHP remains.; Restrict public access to design/thinkedit/render.php if still present..
