Movable Type Pro, Open Source, and Advanced before 5.2.12 and Pro and Advanced 6.0.x before 6.0.7 does not properly use the Perl Storable::thaw function, which allows remote attackers to include and execute arbitrary local Perl files and possibly execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors.
CVE-2015-1592
- High exploitation likelihood — EPSS 75%
No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.

EG Risk is EchelonGraph's 0–100 priority score. It fuses intrinsic severity with real-world exploitation and automatability, so you can rank equal-severity CVEs and fix the most dangerous first. Higher = act sooner. It is distinct from the 0–10 EG Score, which measures severity.
