Official Description
ini_modifier (sgid-zendtech) in Zend Platform 2.2.3 and earlier allows local users to modify the system php.ini file by editing a copy of php.ini file using the -f parameter, and then performing a symlink attack using the directory that contains the attacker-controlled php.ini file, and linking this directory to /usr/local/Zend/etc.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2007-1369 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
A proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit exists for CVE-2007-1369. While not yet confirmed in active campaigns, the availability of PoC code increases exploitation risk substantially.
