CVE-2025-1661Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Unauthenticated code execution via template path traversal

Published Mar 11, 2025 · Updated Apr 8, 2026

Local file inclusion in RealMag777 HUSKY 1.3.6.5 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute PHP code via a crafted AJAX request. The woof_text_search AJAX handler uses the untrusted template parameter as an included-file path without confining traversal to a template directory. No authentication is required, but code execution depends on an includable attacker-controlled file, such as an uploaded file or poisoned server log.
