CVE-2007-1562

Status: ModifiedMedium (6.8)—💥 Exploit
The FTP protocol implementation in Mozilla Firefox before 1.5.0.11 and 2.x before 2.0.0.3 allows remote attackers to force the client to connect to other servers, perform a proxied port scan, or obtain sensitive information by specifying an alternate server address in an FTP PASV response.
CVSS

Version: 2.0
Vector: AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
Base score: 6.8
Exploitation probability (EPSS)

Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 14%
Percentile among all scored CVEs: 96
Score date: 10/14/2026
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.
