CVE-2017-3078

Status: ModifiedCritical (9.8)—💥 Exploit

Adobe Flash Player versions 25.0.0.171 and earlier have an exploitable memory corruption vulnerability in the Adobe Texture Format (ATF) module. 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.

⚠️ GitHub proofs of concept are not verified: some are fake or contain malware. Never run them outside an isolated lab.
