CVE-2007-5416 Code injection in n/a

What is CVE-2007-5416?

CVE-2007-5416 is a medium-severity code injection vulnerability in Drupal Drupal, published on 12 Oct 2007. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.

Official description

Drupal 5.2 and earlier does not properly unset variables when the input data includes a numeric parameter with a value matching an alphanumeric parameter's hash value, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code by invoking the drupal_eval function through a callback parameter to the default URI, as demonstrated by the _menu[callbacks][1][callback] parameter. NOTE: it could be argued that this vulnerability is due to a bug in the unset PHP command (CVE-2006-3017) and the proper fix should be in PHP; if so, then this should not be treated as a vulnerability in Drupal.

Weakness: CWE-189
