Description

A vulnerability in the server’s configuration allows for arbitrary code execution through crafted requests, which can lead to database connections being established and unauthorized access.

Recommendation

Validate all input data on the server-side to prevent malicious Server Side Includes from being executed. Disable Server Side Includes completely or configure them to only allow specific files or directories to be included.
