CVE-2003-0004

Status: ModifiedHigh (7.2)—💥 Exploit

Buffer overflow in the Windows Redirector function in Microsoft Windows XP allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a long parameter.

CVSS

Version: 2.0
Vector: AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
Base score: 7.2

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 3.15%
Percentile among all scored CVEs: 88
Score date: 10/8/2026

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.
