Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
CVE-2023-24202 is reported as a critical local file inclusion issue in Raffle Draw System v1.0. An unauthenticated attacker may be able to make the application load unintended local files through the page parameter in index.php. The provided sources do not identify a vendor patch or active exploitation.
Executive priority
Treat as urgent if this PHP application is deployed publicly or handles sensitive operational data. The high CVSS score reflects severe potential impact, but urgency depends on whether the niche application exists in your environment.
Technical view
The CVE record describes local file inclusion via index.php's page parameter in Raffle Draw System v1.0, with CVSS 3.1 score 9.8. The record lists CWE-434, which appears inconsistent with the LFI description. Public evidence is limited to the CVE entry, SourceCodester project page, and a GitHub vulnerability write-up.
Likely exposure
Exposure is most likely in organizations that downloaded and deployed the SourceCodester Raffle Draw System v1.0 PHP application, especially if internet-facing. The CVE affected-product metadata is sparse and lists vendor/product as n/a, so asset owners must verify by codebase or application title.
Exploitation context
The issue is rated network-exploitable, low complexity, no privileges, and no user interaction. The bundle marks KEV as false and provides no cited evidence of active exploitation. A public GitHub write-up exists, which increases researcher awareness but does not prove exploitation in the wild.
Researcher notes
The available evidence is thin. The CVE description says LFI, while the listed CWE is CWE-434, suggesting classification quality issues. Avoid assuming broader SourceCodester impact beyond Raffle Draw System v1.0 unless confirmed by code or vendor documentation.
Mitigation direction
- Check SourceCodester and maintainer channels for a corrected release or official guidance.
- Remove public exposure of affected deployments until remediation is verified.
- If no maintained fix exists, retire or replace the application.
- Review index.php file-inclusion logic for strict allowlisting before redeployment.
- Limit filesystem permissions available to the PHP runtime.
Validation and detection
- Inventory systems for Raffle Draw System v1.0 or copied SourceCodester code.
- Review index.php for page parameter driven file inclusion behavior.
- Confirm whether any official update or maintainer fix has been applied.
- Inspect web logs for unusual page parameter values or file-path probing.
- Validate PHP runtime permissions do not expose sensitive local files.
