Status: ModifiedMedium (5)—💥 Exploit

db4web_c and db4web_c.exe programs in DB4Web 3.4 and 3.6 allow remote attackers to read arbitrary files via an HTTP request whose argument is a filename of the form (1) C: (drive letter), (2) //absolute/path (double-slash), or (3) .. (dot-dot).

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: 8.45%
Percentile among all scored CVEs: 95
Score date: 10/11/2026

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.
