FAUCET Score

CVE-2000-1022 describes a vulnerability in Cisco Secure PIX Firewall 5.2(2) and earlier, where the mailguard feature fails to properly restrict access to SMTP commands. This allows remote attackers to execute restricted commands by sending a DATA command prior to the intended restricted commands. The vulnerability carries a CVSS score of 7.5 (HIGH), indicating a network-based attack with low complexity, requiring no authentication, and potentially leading to partial compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. While no active exploitation or Metasploit modules are reported, an ExploitDB entry exists, and there is no significant community discussion or media coverage surrounding this older vulnerability.
