Status: ModifiedMedium (4.6)—
Raritan Dominion SX (DSX) Console Servers DSX16, DSX32, DSX4, DSX8, and DSXA-48 set (1) world-readable permissions for /etc/shadow and (2) world-writable permissions for /bin/busybox, which allows local users to obtain hashed passwords or execute arbitrary code as other users.
CVSS
- Version: 2.0
- Vector: AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
- Base score: 4.6
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.59%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 46
- Score date: 10/5/2026
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).
