Security readout for executives and security teams

Irmin CMS, formerly Pepsi CMS, had a file inclusion flaw in versions 0.5 and 0.6 BETA2 when PHP register_globals was enabled. A remote attacker could manipulate a path parameter so the application included and executed unintended files. This matters mainly for legacy public websites still running that CMS and unsafe PHP settings. Exposure is likely limited to old Irmin CMS or Pepsi CMS 0.5 and 0.6 BETA2 deployments reachable over the web, especially on legacy PHP hosts where register_globals remains enabled. Treat this as a legacy exposure cleanup item with high impact if present. It is not evidence of current widespread exploitation, but affected internet-facing systems should be removed, isolated, or remediated promptly. Mitigation focus: Identify and retire Irmin CMS or Pepsi CMS 0.5 and 0.6 BETA2 installations.; Disable PHP register_globals wherever legacy PHP remains in use.; Check vendor or maintainer guidance if the CMS is still required..
