CVE-2004-1897

Status: ModifiedMedium (5)—💥 Exploit

Administration interface in Monit 1.4 through 4.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault) by sending a Basic Authentication request without a password, which causes Monit to decrement a null pointer and perform an out-of-bounds read.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

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.
