PHP 5.2.7 contains an incorrect change to the FILTER_UNSAFE_RAW functionality, and unintentionally disables magic_quotes_gpc regardless of the actual magic_quotes_gpc setting, which might make it easier for context-dependent attackers to conduct SQL injection attacks and unspecified other attacks.

Exploit prediction (EPSS)

1.66% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days, higher than 77% of all scored CVEs.
