CVE-2005-1797
Status: ModifiedMedium (5.1)—
The design of Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), aka Rijndael, allows remote attackers to recover AES keys via timing attacks on S-box lookups, which are difficult to perform in constant time in AES implementations.
CVSS
- Version: 2.0
- Vector: AV:N/AC:H/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
- Base score: 5.1
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.74%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 53
- Score date: 10/7/2026
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).
