CVE-2007-5970
Status: ModifiedMedium (5.8)—
MySQL 5.1.x before 5.1.23 and 6.0.x before 6.0.4 allows remote authenticated users to gain privileges on arbitrary tables via unspecified vectors involving use of table-level DATA DIRECTORY and INDEX DIRECTORY options when creating a partitioned table with the same name as a table on which the user lacks privileges.
CVSS
- Version: 2.0
- Vector: AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:N
- Base score: 5.8
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 2.13%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 81
- Score date: 10/10/2026
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).
