CVE-2006-1518
Status: ModifiedMedium (6.5)—💥 Exploit
Buffer overflow in the open_table function in sql_base.cc in MySQL 5.0.x up to 5.0.20 might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted COM_TABLE_DUMP packets with invalid length values.
CVSS
- Version: 2.0
- Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:S/C:P/I:P/A:P
- Base score: 6.5
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 38%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 99
- Score date: 10/11/2026
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.
