CVE-2007-5056: Eval injection vulnerability in adodb-perf-module.inc.php in ADOdb Lite 1.42 and earlier, as used in produc...

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a remote code execution issue in old ADOdb Lite versions. If a public web application exposes the vulnerable performance module, an attacker could make the server run attacker-supplied PHP through the last_module parameter. The business risk is highest for legacy internet-facing CMS or real-estate/site platforms that still bundle ADOdb Lite 1.42 or earlier. Exposure is most likely in legacy PHP web applications that include ADOdb Lite 1.42 or earlier and leave adodb-perf-module.inc.php reachable. The provided affected metadata is incomplete, so teams should validate by inspecting deployed code and vendor package contents rather than relying only on product names. Prioritize this for legacy internet-facing PHP estates. The vulnerability is old, but remote code execution plus public exploit references means forgotten systems can remain attractive targets. Focus on inventory, exposure reduction, and retirement or vendor-supported remediation. Mitigation focus: Inventory legacy PHP applications using ADOdb Lite 1.42 or earlier.; Check each application vendor advisory for supported upgrade or removal guidance.; Remove internet exposure for affected legacy instances until vendor guidance is applied..
