FAUCET Score

CVE-2009-3693 describes a critical directory traversal vulnerability in the Persits.XUpload.2 ActiveX control (XUpload.ocx), specifically impacting HP LoadRunner 9.5. This flaw allows remote attackers to create arbitrary files on a vulnerable system by manipulating the third argument of the MakeHttpRequest method with "../" sequences. With a CVSS score of 9.3, this vulnerability is highly severe, indicating a network-based attack with medium complexity but complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Its high EPSS score and FAUCET Risk Score of 99/100 further emphasize its significant risk. While not listed in CISA's KEV catalog, exploit intelligence confirms the existence of a Metasploit module and ExploitDB proofs-of-concept (PoCs), demonstrating its exploitability. Despite the availability of exploit code, there is no recorded community discussion or media coverage, suggesting it may not be widely known or actively exploited in the wild.
