CVE-2002-1410 describes an authentication bypass vulnerability in Easy Guestbook CGI programs, including those from Ben Chivers and Easy Scripts Archive. Remote attackers can directly access admin.cgi or config.cgi to delete guestbook entries or reconfigure the application due to a lack of administrator authentication. This vulnerability carries a CVSS score of 7.5, indicating a high severity with network-based attacks requiring low complexity and no authentication, potentially leading to partial confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts. While not actively exploited in the wild or on the CISA KEV catalog, an ExploitDB entry (EDB-21659) exists, and there is no significant community discussion or media coverage surrounding this older CVE.
