CVE-2010-5227

Status: ModifiedMedium (6.9)—💥 Exploit

Untrusted search path vulnerability in Opera before 10.62 allows local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse dwmapi.dll file in the current working directory, as demonstrated by a directory that contains a .htm, .mht, .mhtml, .xht, .xhtm, or .xhtl file. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.

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.
