CVE-2003-0258
Status: ModifiedHigh (7.5)—
Cisco VPN 3000 series concentrators and Cisco VPN 3002 Hardware Client 3.5.x through 4.0.REL, when enabling IPSec over TCP for a port on the concentrator, allow remote attackers to reach the private network without authentication.
CVSS
- Version: 2.0
- Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
- Base score: 7.5
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 2.16%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 82
- Score date: 10/4/2026
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).
