CVE-2008-7074

Status: ModifiedHigh (9.3)—💥 Exploit

Format string vulnerability in MemeCode Software i.Scribe 1.88 through 2.00 before Beta9 allows remote SMTP servers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via format string specifiers in a server response, which is not properly handled "when displaying the signon message."

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.
