CVE-2017-2992

Status: ModifiedHigh (8.8)—💥 Exploit

Adobe Flash Player versions 24.0.0.194 and earlier have an exploitable heap overflow vulnerability when parsing an MP4 header. Successful exploitation could lead to arbitrary code execution.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

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.
