CVE-2008-1564

Status: ModifiedMedium (4.3)—💥 Exploit

Directory traversal vulnerability in Dan Costin File Transfer before 1.2f allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via a "..\" (dot dot backslash) in the filename.

CVSS

Version: 2.0
Vector: AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N
Base score: 4.3

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 2.34%
Percentile among all scored CVEs: 83
Score date: 10/11/2026

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.
