CVE-2016-1321
Status: ModifiedMedium (5.8)—
Cisco Universal Small Cell devices with firmware R2.12 through R3.5 contain an image-decryption key in flash memory, which allows remote attackers to bypass a certain certificate-validation feature and obtain sensitive firmware-image and IP address data via a request to an unspecified Cisco server, aka Bug ID CSCut98082.
CVSS
- Version: 3.0
- Vector: CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:N/A:N
- Base score: 5.8
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.92%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 59
- 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).
