CVE-2010-5230

Status: ModifiedMedium (6.9)—💥 PoC

Multiple untrusted search path vulnerabilities in MicroStation 7.1 allow local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse (1) mptools.dll, (2) baseman.dll, (3) wintab32.dll, or (4) wintab.dll file in the current working directory, as demonstrated by a directory that contains a .hln or .rdl 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.

⚠️ GitHub proofs of concept are not verified: some are fake or contain malware. Never run them outside an isolated lab.
