CVE-2006-7141

Status: ModifiedMedium (6)—💥 Exploit

Absolute path traversal vulnerability in Oracle Database Server, when utl_file_dir is set to a wildcard value or "CREATE ANY DIRECTORY to PUBLIC" privileges exist, allows remote authenticated users to read and modify arbitrary files via full filepaths to utl_file functions such as (1) utl_file.put_line and (2) utl_file.get_line, a related issue to CVE-2005-0701. NOTE: this issue is disputed by third parties who state that this is due to an insecure configuration instead of an inherent vulnerability

CVSS

Version: 2.0
Vector: AV:N/AC:M/Au:S/C:P/I:P/A:P
Base score: 6

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 5.93%
Percentile among all scored CVEs: 93
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.
