CVE-2012-0741
Status: ModifiedMedium (5.8)—
IBM Security AppScan Enterprise before 8.6.0.2 and Rational Policy Tester before 8.5.0.3 do not validate X.509 certificates during use of the Manual Explore Proxy feature, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof SSL servers via an arbitrary certificate.
CVSS
- Version: 2.0
- Vector: AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:N
- Base score: 5.8
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.59%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 46
- Score date: 10/5/2026
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).
