CVE-2018-25241

Status: DeferredHigh (8.7)—

VPN Browser+ 1.1.0.0 contains a denial of service vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to crash the application by submitting oversized input through the search functionality. Attackers can paste a large buffer of characters into the search bar to trigger an unhandled exception that terminates the application.

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

How this vulnerability is exploited and what the attacker gains, in MITRE ATT&CK terms.

Vector CVSS:4.0 con AV:N/PR:N/UI:N indica red sin autenticación. CWE-306 (autenticación débil) sugiere acceso no autenticado. La descripción de crash por entrada no validada confirma DoS (T1499.004: aplicación termina).

Inferred by our analysis agent from the official description, CVSS vector and CWE, and checked by a supervisor. May contain errors.
