Status: ModifiedHigh (9.3)—💥 Exploit

Untrusted search path vulnerability in the Internet Connection Signup Wizard in Microsoft Windows XP SP2 and SP3 and Server 2003 SP2 allows local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse smmscrpt.dll file in the current working directory, as demonstrated by a directory that contains an ISP or INS file, aka "Internet Connection Signup Wizard Insecure Library Loading Vulnerability."

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.
