CVE-2008-3101

Status: ModifiedMedium (4.3)—💥 Exploit

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in vtiger CRM 5.0.4 allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via (1) the parenttab parameter in an index action to the Products module, as reachable through index.php; (2) the user_password parameter in an Authenticate action to the Users module, as reachable through index.php; or (3) the query_string parameter in a UnifiedSearch action to the Home module, as reachable through index.php.

CVSS

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

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 3.77%
Percentile among all scored CVEs: 90
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.
