CVE-2011-4940
Estado: ModificadaBaja (2.6)—
The list_directory function in Lib/SimpleHTTPServer.py in SimpleHTTPServer in Python before 2.5.6c1, 2.6.x before 2.6.7 rc2, and 2.7.x before 2.7.2 does not place a charset parameter in the Content-Type HTTP header, which makes it easier for remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks against Internet Explorer 7 via UTF-7 encoding.
CVSS
- Versión: 2.0
- Vector: AV:N/AC:H/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N
- Puntuación base: 2.6
Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)
- Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 3.21%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 88
- 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).
