CVE-2015-5082

Status: ModifiedHigh (10)—💥 Exploit

Endian Firewall before 3.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in the (1) NEW_PASSWORD_1 or (2) NEW_PASSWORD_2 parameter to cgi-bin/chpasswd.cgi.

CVSS

Version: 2.0
Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
Base score: 10

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 70%
Percentile among all scored CVEs: 99
Score date: 10/8/2026

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.
