CVE-2006-3469

Status: ModifiedMedium (4)—💥 Exploit
Format string vulnerability in time.cc in MySQL Server 4.1 before 4.1.21 and 5.0 before 1 April 2006 allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (crash) via a format string instead of a date as the first parameter to the date_format function, which is later used in a formatted print call to display the error message.
CVSS

Version: 2.0
Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:S/C:N/I:N/A:P
Base score: 4
Exploitation probability (EPSS)

Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 29%
Percentile among all scored CVEs: 98
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).
💥 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.
