CVE-2017-7237

Status: ModifiedCritical (9.8)—💥 Exploit

The Spiceworks TFTP Server, as distributed with Spiceworks Inventory 7.5, allows remote attackers to access the Spiceworks data\configurations directory by leveraging the unauthenticated nature of the TFTP service for all clients who can reach UDP port 69, as demonstrated by a WRQ (aka Write request) operation for a configuration file or an executable file.

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.
