CVE-2006-1672

20
FAUCET Score

CVE-2006-1672 describes a critical vulnerability in Cisco Transport Controller (CTC) for Cisco Optical Networking System (ONS) 15000 series nodes. The flaw allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on a CTC workstation due to an overly permissive Java policy file that grants full permissions to any HTTP URL containing "fs/LAUNCHER.jar". This vulnerability has a CVSS score of 7.5, indicating high severity with a network-based attack vector and low attack complexity, potentially leading to complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Despite its age and severity, there is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage.
