CVE-2012-3512
Status: ModifiedHigh (7.2)—
Munin before 2.0.6 stores plugin state files that run as root in the same group-writable directory as non-root plugins, which allows local users to execute arbitrary code by replacing a state file, as demonstrated using the smart_ plugin.
CVSS
- Version: 2.0
- Vector: AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
- Base score: 7.2
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.59%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 46
- Score date: 10/6/2026
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).
