CVE-2013-2944
Status: ModifiedMedium (4.9)—
strongSwan 4.3.5 through 5.0.3, when using the OpenSSL plugin for ECDSA signature verification, allows remote attackers to authenticate as other users via an invalid signature.
CVSS
- Version: 2.0
- Vector: AV:N/AC:M/Au:S/C:P/I:P/A:N
- Base score: 4.9
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 1.58%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 75
- Score date: 10/7/2026
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).
