CVE-2007-5265

Status: ModifiedHigh (7.5)—💥 Exploit

Multiple format string vulnerabilities in websrv.cpp in Dawn of Time 1.69s beta4 and earlier allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via format string specifiers in the (1) username or (2) password fields when accessing certain "restricted zones", which are not properly handled by the (a) processWebHeader and (b) filterWebRequest functions.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

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.
