There are no vulnerabilities here, seems to be the result of an automated code scanner.

Imo there are vulnerabilities on certain, unsecure server-setups, with the vars in the URL not being defined within the script under all circumstances. Best practise is to define all vars used, particularly those that are being used as a path or the ones sent to the shell using exec.
The fixes for the vulnerabilities are easy: just add
Code: [Select]
$cmd = '';and similar to the top of the pages that are being mentioned.
Imo this should be fixed, and yes, they even justify a maintenance release imo.

Well that is what they scanned for, but I didn't find any cases which were actually exploitable. They were contained within functions so no injected variables would be in scope. I agree they should be fixed but I don't think it warrants a release unless the flaws can actually be abused. Maybe I missed something.

Yes, they reside within functions, you're right.
