CVE-2006-5177

36
FAUCET Score

CVE-2006-5177 describes critical vulnerabilities in MailEnable Professional 2.0 and Enterprise 2.0, specifically within their NTLM authentication mechanism. Remote attackers can exploit crafted base64 encoded NTLM Type 3 messages to execute arbitrary code or use Type 1 messages to trigger a buffer over-read, leading to a denial of service. With a CVSS score of 9.3 (AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C) and a FAUCET Risk Score of 94/100, this vulnerability is highly severe, allowing for complete compromise or service disruption with medium attack complexity. While not listed in CISA's KEV catalog and lacking Metasploit/Nuclei modules, an ExploitDB entry (EDB-28735) confirms exploit code availability, though there is no evidence of active exploitation or significant community discussion.
