CVE-2021-40870

Estado: AnalizadaCrítica (9.8)⚠ Explotación activa💥 Exploit

An issue was discovered in Aviatrix Controller 6.x before 6.5-1804.1922. Unrestricted upload of a file with a dangerous type is possible, which allows an unauthenticated user to execute arbitrary code via directory traversal.

CVSS

Versión: 3.1
Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Puntuación base: 9.8

Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)

Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 93%
Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 100
Fecha de la puntuación: 6/10/2026

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).

CISA KEV — explotada activamente

Añadida al catálogo: 18/1/2022
Plazo de remediación: 1/2/2022
Uso conocido en ransomware: Unknown

💥 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.
