CVE-2007-4677

Status: ModifiedHigh (9.3)—
Heap-based buffer overflow in Apple QuickTime before 7.3 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an invalid color table size when parsing the color table atom (CTAB) in a movie file, related to the CTAB RGB values.
CVSS

Version: 2.0
Vector: AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
Base score: 9.3
Exploitation probability (EPSS)

Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 47%
Percentile among all scored CVEs: 99
Score date: 10/8/2026
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).
