CVE-2020-16875
<p>A remote code execution vulnerability exists in Microsoft Exchange server due to improper validation of cmdlet arguments.</p> <p>An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could run arbitrary code in the context of the System user. Exploitation of the vulnerability requires an authenticated user in a certain Exchange role to be compromised.</p> <p>The security update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how Microsoft Exchange handles cmdlet arguments.</p>
CVSS
- Versión: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
- Puntuación base: 7.2
Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)
- Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 47%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 99
- Fecha de la puntuación: 7/10/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, de FIRST) estima la probabilidad de que una vulnerabilidad sea explotada en 30 días. Complementa a CVSS (impacto) y a CISA KEV (explotación confirmada).
💥 Exploits públicos
Hay código de explotación o plantillas de detección públicos. No es lo mismo que explotación activa confirmada (KEV), pero aumenta el riesgo: parchee con prioridad.
