CVE-2007-1574
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedCARE2X 2.2, and possibly earlier, allows remote attackers to obtain configuration information via a direct request to phpinfo.php, which calls the phpinfo function. NOTE: the provenance of this information is unknown; the details are obtained solely from third party information.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceCARE2X 2.2 and earlier versions expose the phpinfo() function via a publicly accessible phpinfo.php script. This reveals sensitive server configuration details including PHP version, loaded extensions, environment variables, paths, and server software information, which can aid attackers in further exploitation.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify Care2x installation directorySearch your web server document root for Care2x application files. Look for directories containing care2x index.php, help_en_index.php, or the main Care2x application files.Affected if Care2x application files are present on the server
-
Determine installed Care2x versionOpen the main index.php or check for a version information file within the Care2x directory. Look for a version number string in the source code or a dedicated version file.Affected if The installed version is 2.2 or earlier (any version up to and including 2.2)
-
Locate phpinfo.php fileWithin the Care2x web directory, search for a file named phpinfo.php. Check the root of the Care2x installation and common subdirectories.Affected if The phpinfo.php file exists within the Care2x installation
-
Test phpinfo.php accessibilityMake an HTTP request to the suspected path, such as http://yourserver/care2x/phpinfo.php or the corresponding URL for your installation. If the page displays PHP version, configuration details, and server information, the script is accessible.Affected if The phpinfo.php script is reachable via HTTP and displays PHP configuration information
You are affected if Care2x version 2.2 or earlier is installed and the phpinfo.php script exists and is publicly accessible via HTTP, exposing server configuration details.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataRemove or rename the phpinfo.php file from the web root, or configure web server access controls to deny external requests to this script. Alternatively, disable the phpinfo() function globally if not required for development.
