CVE-2012-4895
Status: ModifiedHigh (9.3)—
Heap-based buffer overflow in SumatraPDF before 2.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted PDF document, a different vulnerability than CVE-2012-4896.
CVSS
- Version: 2.0
- Vector: AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
- Base score: 9.3
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 5.19%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 92
- 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).
