Executive Summary:
A critical vulnerability has been identified in the Erugo self-hosted file-sharing platform, allowing a low-privileged authenticated user to gain full control of the server. An attacker can exploit this flaw by uploading a malicious file to a web-accessible location, leading to remote code execution. This complete system compromise poses a severe risk of data theft, service disruption, and further network intrusion.

Vulnerability Details

CVE-ID: CVE-2026-24897

Affected Software: Erugo is a Multiple Products

Affected Versions: Versions up to and including 0.2.14

Vulnerability: The vulnerability exists due to insufficient path validation in the file-sharing creation feature. An authenticated attacker with low-level privileges can specify a crafted file path, such as one using path traversal sequences (../), when creating a new share. This allows them to bypass directory restrictions and designate a share location anywhere on the filesystem where the application has write permissions, including the public web root directory. By subsequently uploading a web shell or other executable script to this share, the attacker can place malicious code in a publicly accessible location and execute it by simply visiting the corresponding URL, resulting in full remote code execution on the server.

Business Impact

This vulnerability is rated as critical severity with a CVSS score of 10. Successful exploitation results in a complete compromise of the server hosting the Erugo platform. This could lead to the theft or destruction of all stored data, installation of ransomware, or the use of the compromised server to launch further attacks against the internal network. The potential business impact includes significant data breach costs, regulatory fines, operational downtime, and severe reputational damage. Since the only prerequisite for an attacker is a low-privileged account, the risk of exploitation is high in any environment where user registration is open or multiple users have access.

Remediation Plan

Immediate Action: Immediately upgrade all instances of Erugo to version 0.2.15 or later, which contains the fix for this vulnerability. After patching, review server access logs and application logs for any signs of suspicious activity, such as unusual file creation requests or access to unexpected files in the web root.

Proactive Monitoring: Implement enhanced monitoring of the Erugo application and underlying server. Specifically, monitor application logs for share creation events containing path traversal sequences (../). Use file integrity monitoring (FIM) to alert on any new files, especially those with executable extensions (.php, .sh, .jsp, etc.), being written to the web root directory outside of normal deployment processes.

Compensating Controls: If immediate patching is not feasible, implement the following compensating controls to reduce risk:

• Deploy a Web Application Firewall (WAF) with rules to detect and block path traversal attacks.
• Strictly enforce file system permissions to prevent the web server's user account from writing to the web root or other sensitive directories.
• If business functionality allows, temporarily disable file upload capabilities for all non-administrative users.
• Audit all existing user accounts and remove any that are unnecessary or have excessive privileges.

Exploitation Status

Public Exploit Available: false

Analyst Notes: As of the publication date (Jan 28, 2026), there are no publicly available exploits or reports of active exploitation in the wild. However, given the critical impact and the relative simplicity of the attack vector, proof-of-concept (PoC) exploits are expected to be developed and published quickly. The vulnerability is not currently listed on CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog.

Analyst Recommendation

Due to the critical severity (CVSS 10.0) and the potential for a low-privileged user to achieve complete system compromise, this vulnerability requires immediate attention. All organizations using affected versions of Erugo must prioritize applying the update to version 0.2.15 or later. The low barrier to exploitation makes this an attractive target for attackers, and organizations should assume it will be actively targeted in the near future.

Executive Summary:
A critical remote code execution vulnerability exists in the Laravel Reverb real-time communication backend. Attackers with access to the associated Redis server can execute arbitrary code on the application server, potentially leading to a full system compromise. This vulnerability is present when the horizontal scaling feature is enabled and affects versions 1.6.3 and below.

Vulnerability Details

CVE-ID: CVE-2026-23524

Affected Software: Laravel Reverb

Affected Versions: Versions 1.6.3 and below

Vulnerability: The vulnerability is an insecure deserialization flaw. When horizontal scaling is enabled (REVERB_SCALING_ENABLED=true), Laravel Reverb retrieves data from a Redis channel and passes it directly to PHP's unserialize() function. The function is called without any class restrictions, allowing an attacker who can write data to the Redis server to inject a specially crafted serialized PHP object. Upon deserialization, this object can trigger a gadget chain, leading to Remote Code Execution (RCE) in the context of the Laravel application.

Business Impact

This vulnerability is rated as critical severity with a CVSS score of 9.8. Successful exploitation allows an attacker to gain complete control over the affected application server. The potential consequences include theft or modification of sensitive application data, deployment of ransomware or other malware, service disruption, and using the compromised server as a pivot point to attack other internal network resources. The business risks are severe, encompassing major data breaches, significant financial loss, reputational damage, and regulatory penalties.

Remediation Plan

Immediate Action: Update Laravel Reverb to the patched version 1.7.0 or later. After patching, monitor application and server logs for any signs of exploitation attempts that may have occurred prior to remediation.

Proactive Monitoring: Monitor Redis server logs for unusual or suspicious commands, particularly those containing serialized PHP object strings (e.g., starting with O:). Review application logs for errors or warnings related to the unserialize() function. Monitor server process lists and network traffic for unexpected outbound connections or command execution originating from the web server process.

Compensating Controls: If immediate patching is not feasible, apply the following workarounds to mitigate the risk:

• Set REVERB_SCALING_ENABLED=false in the environment configuration to disable the vulnerable scaling logic. This is only a valid solution for environments that do not require horizontal scaling (i.e., use only one Reverb node).
• Secure the Redis server by requiring a strong password for authentication.
• Implement strict firewall rules to ensure the Redis service is only accessible from trusted hosts on a private network or via the local loopback interface.

Exploitation Status

Public Exploit Available: false

Analyst Notes: As of Jan 21, 2026, there are no known public exploits or active exploitation campaigns targeting this vulnerability. However, insecure deserialization is a well-understood vulnerability class, and proof-of-concept exploits can be developed quickly. The common practice of deploying Redis servers without authentication significantly increases the likelihood of exploitation.

Analyst Recommendation

Given the critical CVSS score of 9.8 and the risk of complete system compromise, immediate remediation is strongly recommended. Organizations should prioritize updating Laravel Reverb to version 1.7.0 or later. While this CVE is not currently on the CISA KEV list, its severity warrants treating it with the highest urgency. In addition to patching, organizations should implement the recommended compensating controls, such as securing Redis access, as a permanent defense-in-depth measure.

Executive Summary:
A high-severity vulnerability has been identified in the G5Theme Handmade Framework, which is used across multiple G5Theme products. This flaw allows an unauthenticated attacker to read sensitive files from the underlying server by manipulating file inclusion functions. Successful exploitation could lead to the exposure of confidential data, system credentials, and potentially a full compromise of the affected web server.

Vulnerability Details

CVE-ID: CVE-2026-22521

Affected Software: G5Theme Handmade Framework and associated products

Affected Versions: See vendor advisory for specific affected versions

Vulnerability: This vulnerability is a Local File Inclusion (LFI) flaw resulting from an improper control of filenames used in PHP's include or require statements. An attacker can exploit this by supplying a specially crafted input, typically through a URL parameter, that contains directory traversal sequences (e.g., ../../). The application fails to properly sanitize this input, causing it to include a file from an unintended location on the server's file system. This allows the attacker to read the contents of sensitive files such as configuration files containing database credentials (wp-config.php), system user files (/etc/passwd), or application source code. If the attacker can also upload a file to the server, this LFI vulnerability could be escalated to achieve Remote Code Execution (RCE).

Business Impact

This vulnerability is rated as High severity with a CVSS score of 7.5. Exploitation can have significant business consequences, including a direct breach of sensitive data. The exposure of configuration files could lead to the compromise of databases and other connected systems. A successful RCE attack would grant the adversary full control over the web server, enabling them to deface the website, install malware, steal customer data, or use the server to launch further attacks. Such an incident could result in severe reputational damage, regulatory fines, and financial loss.

Remediation Plan

Immediate Action: The primary remediation is to apply the security updates provided by the vendor (G5Theme) immediately. This will patch the underlying code flaw and prevent exploitation. After patching, it is crucial to monitor web server access logs for any signs of past or ongoing exploitation attempts.

Proactive Monitoring: Security teams should actively monitor web server logs for requests containing directory traversal payloads (e.g., ../, ..%2f, %2e%2e%2f) in URL parameters. Implement alerts for unusual file access patterns or outbound connections from the web server. File Integrity Monitoring (FIM) can also help detect unauthorized changes to critical system or application files.

Compensating Controls: If immediate patching is not feasible, the following controls can help mitigate risk:

• Web Application Firewall (WAF): Deploy a WAF with rulesets designed to detect and block LFI and directory traversal attack patterns.
• Harden PHP Configuration: Ensure the open_basedir directive is configured in php.ini to restrict PHP processes to only access files within specific, authorized directories.
• Least Privilege: Run the web server and PHP processes under a low-privilege user account with minimal read permissions on the file system.

Exploitation Status

Public Exploit Available: False

Analyst Notes: As of the publication date (January 9, 2026), there are no known public exploits or active exploitation campaigns targeting this vulnerability. However, LFI is a well-understood vulnerability class, and proof-of-concept exploits can be developed with relative ease. Organizations should assume that threat actors will begin actively scanning for and exploiting this vulnerability shortly.

Analyst Recommendation

Given the high severity (CVSS 7.5) and the critical impact of a successful exploit, which includes sensitive data disclosure and potential server compromise, we strongly recommend that organizations prioritize the immediate application of vendor-supplied patches.

This vulnerability is rated as High severity with a CVSS score of 7.5. A successful exploit could have a severe impact on the business, leading to a complete compromise of the web server. Potential consequences include theft of sensitive data (such as customer information, payment details, or intellectual property), website defacement, installation of malware like ransomware or crypto-miners, and using the compromised server as a pivot point to attack other internal systems. Such an incident could result in significant financial loss, reputational damage, and potential regulatory penalties.

Remediation Plan

Immediate Action: The primary remediation is to apply the security updates provided by the vendor across all affected installations immediately. Before deploying to production, test the patch in a staging environment to ensure it does not disrupt functionality. Concurrently, begin reviewing web server access logs for any signs of past or ongoing exploitation attempts.

Proactive Monitoring: Security teams should actively monitor for indicators of compromise. Review web server access logs for GET or POST requests containing full URLs (e.g., http://, https://, ftp://) in unexpected parameters. Monitor for unusual outbound network connections from the web server, especially to unknown IP addresses on common ports like 80 and 443. Implement file integrity monitoring to detect the creation of unauthorized files (e.g., PHP web shells) in the web application's directories.

Compensating Controls: If immediate patching is not feasible, implement the following compensating controls:

• Use a Web Application Firewall (WAF) with rules specifically designed to detect and block RFI attack patterns.
• In the server's php.ini configuration file, disable allow_url_include and allow_url_fopen. This will prevent PHP from including remote files via URL, directly mitigating this specific RFI vector. Note: This change may impact legitimate application functionality and must be tested thoroughly.
• Implement strict egress filtering to block the web server from initiating outbound connections to the internet, preventing it from downloading malicious payloads.

Vulnerability: The plugin is vulnerable to a Local File Inclusion (LFI) flaw in the layout parameter. An attacker can craft a malicious web request that uses this parameter to specify a file path on the server. Because the input is not properly sanitized, the application will include and execute the contents of the specified PHP file, leading to Remote Code Execution (RCE). This type of attack does not require authentication, making it easy to exploit via automated scanning tools.

Business Impact

This vulnerability is rated as critical severity with a CVSS score of 9.8, posing a significant and immediate threat to the organization. Exploitation can lead to a complete compromise of the web server, granting an attacker full control. Potential consequences include unauthorized access to and exfiltration of sensitive data (e.g., customer PII, appointment details, internal documents), website defacement, deployment of ransomware, and the use of the compromised server as a pivot point to attack other internal systems. This can result in severe reputational damage, financial loss, regulatory fines, and operational downtime.

Remediation Plan

Immediate Action: Update the LatePoint WordPress plugin to the patched version 5.1.94 or the latest available version immediately. After updating, verify that the website is functioning correctly.

Proactive Monitoring: System administrators should actively monitor web server access logs for any requests targeting the LatePoint plugin that contain the layout parameter with suspicious values, such as path traversal sequences (../), absolute file paths, or PHP wrappers (php://). Monitor for any unexpected file modifications or outbound network connections from the web server.

Compensating Controls: If patching cannot be performed immediately, implement the following controls:

• Use a Web Application Firewall (WAF) with rulesets designed to detect and block LFI and path traversal attack patterns.
• Temporarily disable the LatePoint plugin until it can be safely updated.
• Harden server permissions to restrict the web server user's ability to read sensitive files outside of the web root directory.

Exploitation Status

Public Exploit Available: true

Analyst Notes: As of Aug 13, 2025, this CVE is not listed in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog. However, LFI vulnerabilities in popular WordPress plugins are trivial to exploit and are prime targets for automated attacks. Proof-of-concept (PoC) code is readily available, and widespread scanning for this vulnerability is expected.

Analyst Recommendation
Given the critical severity (CVSS 9.8) and the availability of a public exploit, immediate remediation is essential. All organizations using the vulnerable versions of the LatePoint plugin must prioritize installing the security update without delay. Due to the high risk of a full system compromise, it is strongly recommended to perform a compromise assessment after patching to ensure the server has not already been breached. Although not currently on the CISA KEV list, the nature of this vulnerability makes it a prime candidate for future inclusion and active exploitation by threat actors.

Executive Summary:
A set of critical SQL Injection vulnerabilities has been identified in the amansuryawanshi Gym-Management-System-PHP software. These flaws allow an attacker, with or without prior authentication, to execute malicious database commands, potentially leading to a complete compromise of the system's data, user accounts, and administrative functions. Due to the critical severity and the potential for unauthenticated exploitation, immediate remediation is required to prevent data breaches and unauthorized access.

Vulnerability Details

CVE-ID: CVE-2025-67147

Affected Software: amansuryawanshi Gym-Management-System-PHP

Affected Versions: 1.0

Vulnerability: The application fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input in multiple parameters across three different PHP files. An attacker can inject malicious SQL queries into these parameters, which are then executed by the back-end database. The specific vulnerable locations are:

• submit_contact.php: via the 'name', 'email', and 'comment' parameters.
• secure_login.php: via the 'username' and 'pass_key' parameters.
• change_s_pwd.php: via the 'login_id', 'pwfield', and 'login_key' parameters.
  Exploitation could allow an unauthenticated attacker to bypass login mechanisms (secure_login.php) or an authenticated attacker to escalate privileges and manipulate data (change_s_pwd.php).

Business Impact

This vulnerability is rated as critical severity with a CVSS score of 9.8. Successful exploitation could have a severe impact on the business, leading to a significant data breach of member information, including personally identifiable information (PII). An attacker could read, modify, or delete any data within the application's database, disrupt operations, and escalate their privileges to a full system administrator. This level of compromise poses a direct risk of financial loss, reputational damage, and potential regulatory penalties related to data protection.

Remediation Plan

Immediate Action: Update the amansuryawanshi Gym-Management-System-PHP to the latest version provided by the vendor, which addresses these vulnerabilities. After patching, it is crucial to monitor for any signs of exploitation attempts that may have occurred and review web server and database access logs for suspicious activity.

Proactive Monitoring: Security teams should actively monitor web server logs for requests to submit_contact.php, secure_login.php, and change_s_pwd.php containing SQL syntax like UNION, SELECT, --, OR 1=1, or sleep/benchmark commands. Monitor database logs for unusual or unauthorized queries. An increase in failed login attempts or the creation of unauthorized administrative accounts should be investigated immediately.

Compensating Controls: If immediate patching is not feasible, deploy a Web Application Firewall (WAF) with rulesets designed to block common SQL Injection attack patterns. Restrict access to the application from untrusted networks and ensure the database user account used by the application operates with the principle of least privilege, limiting its ability to modify schema or access other databases.

Exploitation Status

Public Exploit Available: false

Analyst Notes: As of the publication date, Jan 12, 2026, there are no known public exploits or active exploitation campaigns targeting this vulnerability. However, SQL Injection is a well-understood vulnerability class, and proof-of-concept exploits can be developed easily. The vulnerability is not listed on the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog at this time.

Analyst Recommendation

Given the critical CVSS score of 9.8 and the fact that some vectors are exploitable by an unauthenticated attacker, this vulnerability represents a significant and immediate risk to the organization. We strongly recommend that all instances of amansuryawanshi Gym-Management-System-PHP 1.0 be identified and patched to the latest version with the highest priority. Although not currently on the CISA KEV list, the ease of exploitation requires that this vulnerability be treated as an active threat.

Executive Summary:
A critical set of unauthenticated SQL Injection vulnerabilities has been identified in the GYM-MANAGEMENT-SYSTEM software.
