MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Initial Access, Command and Control The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires a low-privilege authenticated session (CVSS PR:L) to the RockOA 2.7.0 web application; the attacker then supplies a specific crafted value in the 'a' parameter of index.php to coerce the application into returning phpinfo() output. The primary limiting factor is the authentication requirement - this is not exploitable by fully unauthenticated attackers per the CVSS vector. No user interaction is needed (UI:N), and the attack is network-reachable (AV:N) against an exposed RockOA instance. Impact is confined to disclosure of PHP/server configuration details (C:L); there is no integrity or availability impact and no direct code execution from this specific behavior as described. |
| Impact | This is a low-to-moderate priority issue despite the 'exploit available' signal. The CVSS base score of 4.3 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N) reflects a network-reachable but authenticated (PR:L) information-disclosure flaw with only low confidentiality impact and no integrity or availability impact. EPSS is low at 0.26% (17th percentile), consistent with the absence of a CISA KEV listing - there is no evidence of active, widespread exploitation. A public exploit reference exists (the vendor's own GitHub issue tracker), so publicly available exploit code exists, but POC availability is a distinct signal from active exploitation and should not be conflated. Note a data tension worth verifying: the assigned CWE-98 (improper control of filename for PHP include/require, i.e. RFI/LFI) and the 'LFI' tag imply code/file inclusion, whereas the description characterizes the impact strictly as phpinfo() output disclosure - an information leak, not file inclusion or code execution. The CVSS impact metrics (C:L only) align with the description's info-disclosure framing rather than the more severe CWE-98 classification, so the true vulnerability class should be confirmed with the vendor. Net: real but low-urgency for most defenders; the leaked phpinfo data (paths, modules, environment) is primarily useful as reconnaissance to enable further attacks. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker with low-privilege authenticated access to a RockOA 2.7.0 instance sends a crafted request to index.php with a specific value in the 'a' parameter, causing the application to return phpinfo() output. The leaked configuration (server paths, loaded PHP modules, environment variables) is then used as reconnaissance to plan follow-on attacks. A public exploit/proof-of-concept is referenced in the vendor's GitHub issue tracker. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 15, 2026
Information disclosure in Xinhu Rainrock RockOA 2.7.0 allows a low-privilege authenticated attacker to retrieve phpinfo() output by supplying a crafted value in the 'a' parameter to index.php, exposing PHP configuration and server details. Publicly available exploit code exists, but the requirement for a valid low-privilege session and the confidentiality-only impact keep the EPSS score low at 0.26% (17th percentile), making this a low-to-moderate priority issue despite the exploit availability signal.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch is identified in the provided data; the sole reference is the GitHub issue at https://github.com/rainrocka/xinhu/issues/11. If the vendor has released a fixed RockOA build after 2.7.0, upgrade to that exact version when confirmed; otherwise, restrict network access to RockOA so only trusted low-privilege users can reach index.php, since the CVSS vector requires PR:L and the attack is not unauthenticated. Disable phpinfo() exposure in production PHP configuration (set expose_php=Off and remove or block phpinfo scripts where possible), understanding this may reduce diagnostic visibility; add WAF or reverse-proxy rules to block requests to index.php with suspicious 'a' parameters or LFI/phpinfo probing patterns; and monitor logs for unusual parameter values or responses containing phpinfo output. These controls reduce exposure but do not replace a vendor fix.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The affected product is Xinhu Rainrock RockOA 2.7.0, a PHP-based web application identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:rockoa:rockoa:2.7.0:*:*:*:*:*:*:*. The root cause aligns with CWE-98, which covers improper control of filenames used in PHP include/require statements, and the LFI tag suggests attacker-controlled input can influence file inclusion or routing; however, in this case the demonstrated outcome is limited to phpinfo() disclosure rather than code execution. The CVSS vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N clarifies that the flaw is network-reachable, requires low privileges, needs no user interaction, and affects only confidentiality. Successful exploitation can reveal PHP version, build options, loaded extensions, environment variables, and filesystem paths useful for follow-on attacks, but it does not, per available data, grant file write, integrity, availability, or direct remote code execution impact.

Attack Technique
Local File Inclusion vulnerabilities occur when an application accepts user-controlled input to specify which file should be loaded or executed, typically through functions like PHP's `include()`, `require()`, or `fopen()`.
Information disclosure occurs when an application unintentionally exposes sensitive data that aids attackers in reconnaissance or directly compromises security.
