CVE-2005-2310

Status: ModifiedHigh (9.3)—💥 Exploit

Buffer overflow in Winamp 5.03a, 5.09 and 5.091, and other versions before 5.094, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an MP3 file with a long ID3v2 tag such as (1) ARTIST or (2) TITLE.

CVSS

Version: 2.0
Vector: AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
Base score: 9.3

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 13%
Percentile among all scored CVEs: 96
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).

💥 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.
