Public exploitAvailablePublished on Exploit-DB · Metasploit module (reliable, widely available exploit)

Stack-based buffer overflow in MicroP 0.1.1.1600 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted .mppl file. NOTE: it has been reported that the overflow is in the lpFileName parameter of the CreateFileA function, but the overflow is probably caused by a separate, unnamed function.

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.
