CVE-2007-5036

Status: ModifiedMedium (5)—💥 Exploit

Multiple buffer overflows in the AirDefense Airsensor M520 with firmware 4.3.1.1 and 4.4.1.4 allow remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (HTTPS service outage) via a crafted query string in an HTTPS request to (1) adLog.cgi, (2) post.cgi, or (3) ad.cgi, related to the "files filter."

CVSS

Version: 2.0
Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P
Base score: 5

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 9.62%
Percentile among all scored CVEs: 95
Score date: 10/6/2026

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.
