Should you act?

Critical and remotely reachable

No known exploitation yet, but it is network-reachable without credentials. This signal is computed from CISA KEV, EPSS and CVSS data; it is not an editorial verdict.

  • No confirmed exploitation. It is not in CISA’s KEV catalog and CISA’s SSVC assessment records no known exploitation. That can change quickly after a public write-up; re-check if you are affected.
  • EPSS 0.3%, percentile 19: FIRST’s model estimates a 0.3% chance of exploitation activity in the next 30 days, higher than 19% of all scored CVEs (low). EPSS is a probability, not a verdict.
  • Only applies if your dependency tree includes yeswiki/yeswiki (Composer (PHP)) < 4.6.6, fixed in 4.6.6. Check your lockfile, including transitive dependencies.

tools/bazar/services/CSVManager.php line 372-399:

There is no ['allowedclasses' => false] argument; arbitrary classes are instantiated. The subsequent arraymap('strval', $entry) additionally exercises toString on each top-level array element, doubling the magic-method surface available to a gadget chain.
