78
FAUCET Score

CVE-2006-5143 describes multiple buffer overflow vulnerabilities in various CA BrightStor ARCserve Backup, BrightStor Enterprise Backup, and related protection suite products. These flaws allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by sending crafted data to specific TCP ports (6071, 6503, 41523) or through unspecified vectors related to the Job Engine Service. Rated with a CVSS score of 7.5 (High), this vulnerability is remotely exploitable with low attack complexity and no authentication required, potentially leading to full compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Its high EPSS score of 0.84629 and FAUCET Risk Score of 99/100 indicate a significant threat. While not listed on CISA's KEV catalog, exploit code is publicly available, including Metasploit modules and multiple entries on ExploitDB, demonstrating its exploitability. Despite this, there is no recorded community discussion or media coverage, suggesting a lack of widespread public attention.
