CVE-2009-3241
Status: ModifiedHigh (7.8)—💥 Exploit
Unspecified vulnerability in the OpcUa (OPC UA) dissector in Wireshark 0.99.6 through 1.0.8 and 1.2.0 through 1.2.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory and CPU consumption) via malformed OPCUA Service CallRequest packets.
CVSS
- Version: 2.0
- Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C
- Base score: 7.8
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 9.70%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 95
- Score date: 10/9/2026
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.
