CVE-2002-2357
Status: ModifiedMedium (5)—💥 Exploit
MailEnable 1.5 015 through 1.5 018 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a long USER string, possibly due to a buffer overflow.
CVSS
- Version: 2.0
- Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P
- Base score: 5
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 2.99%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 87
- Score date: 10/12/2026
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.
