CVE-2018-25169

Status: DeferredHigh (8.7)—

AMPPS 2.7 contains a denial of service vulnerability that allows remote attackers to crash the service by sending malformed data to the default HTTP port. Attackers can establish multiple socket connections and transmit invalid payloads to exhaust server resources and cause service unavailability.

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).

🎯 ATT&CK techniques
