84
FAUCET Score

CVE-2008-1602 describes a critical stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in Orbit Downloader versions 2.6.3 and 2.6.4. This flaw allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by supplying an excessively long download URL, which is mishandled during Unicode conversion for a failed download notification. With a CVSS score of 10.0, this vulnerability presents a severe risk, as it can be exploited remotely with low complexity and no authentication, leading to complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. While not listed on CISA's KEV catalog, exploit modules are publicly available in Metasploit and ExploitDB, indicating readily accessible attack tools, though community discussion and media coverage are minimal.
