CVE-2013-2217

Status: ModifiedLow (1.2)—💥 PoC

cache.py in Suds 0.4, when tempdir is set to None, allows local users to redirect SOAP queries and possibly have other unspecified impact via a symlink attack on a cache file with a predictable name in /tmp/suds/.

CVSS

Version: 2.0
Vector: AV:L/AC:H/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N
Base score: 1.2

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.56%
Percentile among all scored CVEs: 45
Score date: 10/12/2026

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).

💥 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.
