CVE-2021-42756
Multiple stack-based buffer overflow vulnerabilities [CWE-121] in the proxy daemon of FortiWeb 5.x all versions, 6.0.7 and below, 6.1.2 and below, 6.2.6 and below, 6.3.16 and below, 6.4 all versions may allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to achieve arbitrary code execution via specifically crafted HTTP requests.
CVSS
- Versión: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
- Puntuación base: 9.8
Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)
- Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 35%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 98
- Fecha de la puntuación: 7/10/2026
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.
- Prueba de concepto en GitHub (no verificada) · Lista de pruebas de concepto en GitHub
⚠️ Las pruebas de concepto de GitHub no están verificadas: algunas son falsas o contienen malware. No las ejecute nunca fuera de un laboratorio aislado.
