CVE-2008-1914

81
FAUCET Score

CVE-2008-1914 describes a critical stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the AntServer module (AntServer.exe) of BigAnt Messenger 2.2. This flaw allows remote unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code by sending a specially crafted, long URI to TCP port 6080. With a CVSS score of 10.0 and a FAUCET Risk Score of 100/100, this vulnerability is extremely severe, requiring no authentication or complex attack methods for full compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. While not on the KEV catalog, multiple Metasploit modules and ExploitDB entries confirm readily available exploit code, indicating a high likelihood of exploitation. Despite its age, its high EPSS score suggests it remains a significant threat, though it has received minimal community discussion or media coverage.
