CVE-2006-1043

33
FAUCET Score

CVE-2006-1043 describes a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability affecting Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0 and Visual InterDev 6.0. This flaw allows user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code by providing an overly long DataProject field within a .dbp or .sln file. While the CVSS score is moderate (5.1), indicating partial impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, the EPSS and FAUCET scores suggest a higher potential risk. Although not actively exploited in the wild (no KEV listing), public exploit code exists on ExploitDB, and there is no significant community discussion or media coverage surrounding this decade-old vulnerability.
