• → Detect HTTP requests targeting the vulnerable script path with the _POWL[installPath] parameter containing an external URL (RFI attempt). ↗
• → Monitor for GET requests to htmledit.php that include a URL-like value (http:// or https://) in the _POWL[installPath] query parameter, indicating remote file inclusion exploitation. ↗
• → The exploit appends a trailing '?' and '&cmd=' to the injected shell URL to pass OS commands; look for this double-query-string pattern in web server logs. ↗

• · The vulnerability only affects Powl version 0.94; verify the installed version before applying detection rules to avoid false positives on patched or unrelated deployments. ↗
