CVE-2007-0448: PHP

High severity, CVSS 10.0. EPSS: 7.1% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The fopen function in PHP 5.2.0 does not properly handle invalid URI handlers, which allows context-dependent attackers to bypass safe_mode restrictions and read arbitrary files via a file path specified with an invalid URI, as demonstrated via the srpath URI.
