CVE-2007-6604: Multiple directory traversal vulnerabilities in index.php in XCMS 1.82 and earlier allow remote attackers t...

Security readout for executives and security teams

XCMS 1.82 and earlier has directory traversal flaws that can let a remote attacker read files from the server. The public description cites password hash disclosure and possible execution of PHP embedded in uploaded avatar images. This is primarily a legacy exposure risk for organizations still running old XCMS instances. Exposure is likely limited to internet-facing or reachable XCMS 1.82 and earlier deployments. The bundle lists affected vendor and product fields as n/a, so asset teams must confirm by application fingerprinting, code review, or historical hosting records. Prioritize remediation if any XCMS instance remains reachable. The product and vulnerability are old, but the impact can include sensitive file disclosure and possible server-side code execution paths. If no XCMS assets exist, document non-exposure and monitor for legacy systems. Mitigation focus: Identify and retire any XCMS 1.82 or earlier installations.; Check vendor or trusted archival guidance for available fixed versions.; Restrict public access to legacy XCMS while remediation is assessed..
