CVE-2003-0171
Estado: ModificadaAlta (7.2)—💥 Exploit
DirectoryServices en MacOS X se fia de la variable de entorno PATH para localizar y ejecutar el comando touch, lo que permite a usurarios locales ejecutar comandos arbitrarios modificando PATH para que apunte a un directorio que contenga un programa 'touch' malicioso.
CVSS
- Versión: 2.0
- Vector: AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
- Puntuación base: 7.2
Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)
- Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 0.91%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 59
- Fecha de la puntuación: 8/10/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, de FIRST) estima la probabilidad de que una vulnerabilidad sea explotada en 30 días. Complementa a CVSS (impacto) y a CISA KEV (explotación confirmada).
💥 Exploits públicos
Hay código de explotación o plantillas de detección públicos. No es lo mismo que explotación activa confirmada (KEV), pero aumenta el riesgo: parchee con prioridad.
