CVE-2015-1592

CWE-74Published: February 19, 2015· Updated: Jun 17, 2026

7.5

CVSS v3.1

Official Description

Movable Type Pro, Open Source, and Advanced before 5.2.12 and Pro and Advanced 6.0.x before 6.0.7 does not properly use the Perl Storable::thaw function, which allows remote attackers to include and execute arbitrary local Perl files and possibly execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2015-1592 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.

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-2015-1592. While not yet confirmed in active campaigns, the availability of PoC code increases exploitation risk substantially.
