CVE-2007-2960: Multiple directory traversal vulnerabilities in Scallywag 2005-04-25 allow remote attackers to include and...

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old Scallywag directory traversal issue. A remote attacker may be able to make template.php load files outside the intended skin directory, potentially executing local files. The public record says the provenance is unknown, so urgency depends on whether this legacy application exists in your environment. Exposure is likely limited to legacy Scallywag 2005-04-25 deployments, especially internet-facing instances using the listed skin template paths. The source bundle does not identify CPEs, vendors, package names, or maintained product branches. Prioritize discovery over emergency response. If Scallywag is not present, business risk is negligible. If an exposed legacy instance exists, treat it as a serious application security risk because the described impact includes local file inclusion and possible execution. Mitigation focus: Inventory for any Scallywag 2005-04-25 deployments or archived web roots.; Check vendor or maintainer guidance before assuming a patch exists.; Restrict public access to legacy Scallywag instances pending verification..
