CVE-2005-2573
Status: ModifiedMedium (5)—
The mysql_create_function function in sql_udf.cc for MySQL 4.0 before 4.0.25, 4.1 before 4.1.13, and 5.0 before 5.0.7-beta, when running on Windows, uses an incomplete blacklist in a directory traversal check, which allows attackers to include arbitrary files via the backslash (\) character.
CVSS
- Version: 2.0
- Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N
- Base score: 5
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 2.81%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 86
- Score date: 10/10/2026
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).
