Summary

Eval injection vulnerability in sessions.inc of PHP Base Library (PHPLib) before 7.4a. When index.php3 from the PHPLib distribution is available on the server, remote attackers can execute arbitrary PHP code by including a base64-encoded representation of the code in a cookie.

Risk Assessment

The risk for the organization is critical, as an attacker can take over the web server, steal data, or install malware by simply accessing the index.php3 file.

Recommendation

Immediately update PHPLib to version 7.4a or later. If an update is not possible, remove or restrict access to the index.php3 file from external sources.
