Description: A vulnerability was reported in XML-RPC for PHP. A remote user can execute arbitrary PHP code on the target system.
PHPXMLRPC is vulnerable to a very high risk remote php code execution vulnerability that may allow for an attacker to compromise
a vulnerable webserver. The vulnerability is the result of unsanatized data being passed directly into an eval() call in

<methodCall>
<methodName>test.method</methodName>
