CVE-2006-2407

75
FAUCET Score

CVE-2006-2407 describes a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the WeOnlyDo wodSSHServer ActiveX Component, affecting products like FreeSSHd and freeFTPd. This flaw allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by sending an overly long key exchange algorithm string. With a CVSS score of 7.5, it is considered highly severe due to its network-based attack vector, low complexity, and potential for complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. While not listed on the KEV catalog, multiple Metasploit modules and ExploitDB entries confirm the existence of public exploit code, indicating a high likelihood of exploitation despite minimal community discussion or media coverage.
