CVE-2007-1748

Status: ModifiedHigh (10)—💥 Exploit

Stack-based buffer overflow in the RPC interface in the Domain Name System (DNS) Server Service in Microsoft Windows 2000 Server SP 4, Server 2003 SP 1, and Server 2003 SP 2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long zone name containing character constants represented by escape sequences.

CVSS

Version: 2.0
Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
Base score: 10

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 78%
Percentile among all scored CVEs: 100
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.
