What is CVE-2018-17984?

A vulnerability in ISPConfig prior to version 3.1.13 allows authenticated users with local filesystem access to exploit an unanchored regular expression pattern. This leads to potential inclusion of arbitrary files, enabling remote code execution. Proper security measures should be implemented to mitigate this risk and safeguard against unauthorized access.

Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)

PoC code is written by security researchers to demonstrate the vulnerability can be exploited. PoC code is also a key component for weaponization which could lead to ransomware.
