CVE-2000-0588 describes a vulnerability in SawMill 5.0.21 where a CGI program allows remote attackers to read the first line of arbitrary files. By manipulating the 'rfcf' parameter, an attacker can trick SawMill into attempting to parse a specified file as configuration commands, thereby disclosing its initial content. This medium-severity vulnerability (CVSS 5.0) requires no authentication and has low attack complexity, potentially leading to information disclosure. While not listed on the KEV catalog, an ExploitDB entry exists (EDB-20041), indicating public exploit code, though there is no evidence of active exploitation or significant community discussion.
