Description

Acunetix has identified that Craft CMS is vulnerable to remote code execution (RCE) due to the register_argc_argv setting being enabled in the php.ini configuration. This setting allows command-line arguments to be passed to PHP scripts, potentially enabling attackers to execute arbitrary code on the server.

Remediation

Upgrade to the latest version of Craft CMS or disable register_argc_argv
