CVE-2008-6540
Estado: ModificadaMedia (5.1)—💥 Exploit
DotNetNuke before 4.8.2, during installation or upgrade, does not warn the administrator when the default (1) ValidationKey and (2) DecryptionKey values cannot be modified in the web.config file, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions by using the default keys.
CVSS
- Versión: 2.0
- Vector: AV:N/AC:H/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
- Puntuación base: 5.1
Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)
- Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 2.48%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 84
- Fecha de la puntuación: 6/10/2026
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.
