FAUCET Score

CVE-2008-7170 describes a critical privilege escalation vulnerability affecting GSC build 2067 and earlier, specifically within the gameservers gsc product. The flaw stems from the client-side enforcement of administrator privileges, allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary administrator commands through crafted packets. With a CVSS score of 10.0 and a FAUCET Risk Score of 95/100, this vulnerability presents a severe risk due to its network-based attack vector, low complexity, and complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
