Operationally, ranked in the top 2.4% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.
Deeper analysis
PbootCMS version 3.1.2 contains a remote code execution vulnerability in the parserIfLabel function located in function.php. The flaw is tracked as CVE-2022-32417, carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 9.8, and is classified under CWE-94 for improper control of generation of code.
An unauthenticated attacker can supply crafted input over the network to trigger the vulnerable parser routine, resulting in arbitrary code execution on the server with full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact.
The associated EPSS score has remained steady at a peak of 0.4267 since disclosure, indicating sustained but not newly escalating exploitation interest. Public references consist of GitHub issue reports that document the discovery but provide no official patch or mitigation guidance.

Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.
Makes persistent code injection into loaded programs impossible when the executable image itself resides on hardware-protected read-only media.
Dynamically generated code can be produced and executed inside the isolated chamber, preventing host compromise from code-injection payloads.
Validates inputs used in dynamic code generation to block injected directives.
Directly prevents execution of attacker-supplied code written into data memory regions.
