27
FAUCET Score

CVE-2006-0623 describes a critical vulnerability in QNX Neutrino RTOS 6.3.0, where the /etc/rc.d/rc.local file is world-writable. This misconfiguration allows any local user to modify the file, leading to arbitrary code execution with root privileges during system startup. With a CVSS score of 7.2, this vulnerability is severe due to its low attack complexity and complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. While not actively exploited in the wild or on the KEV catalog, an ExploitDB entry confirms exploit code availability, though community discussion and media coverage are minimal.
