CVE-2000-1202 describes a local privilege escalation vulnerability in the ikeyman component of IBM HTTP Server SSL Module Common (IBMHSSSB) version 1.0. The vulnerability arises because ikeyman prepends a user's CLASSPATH directories to the system's CLASSPATH, allowing a malicious local user to execute arbitrary code as root by injecting a Trojan horse Ikeyman class. With a CVSS score of 7.2 (HIGH), this vulnerability has a low attack complexity and requires local access, but can lead to complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. There is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage surrounding this CVE.
