CVE-2002-0654

Status: ModifiedMedium (5)—💥 Exploit
Apache 2.0 through 2.0.39 on Windows, OS2, and Netware allows remote attackers to determine the full pathname of the server via (1) a request for a .var file, which leaks the pathname in the resulting error message, or (2) via an error message that occurs when a script (child process) cannot be invoked.
CVSS

Version: 2.0
Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N
Base score: 5
Exploitation probability (EPSS)

Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 59%
Percentile among all scored CVEs: 99
Score date: 10/7/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
💥 Public exploits

Exploit code or detection templates are publicly available. This is not the same as confirmed active exploitation (KEV), but it raises the risk: patch with priority.
