CVE-2012-3523 describes a plaintext command injection vulnerability in the STARTTLS implementation of nnrpd in INN versions prior to 2.5.3. This medium-severity flaw (CVSS 6.8) allows man-in-the-middle attackers to inject commands into encrypted sessions by sending cleartext commands that are processed after TLS is established, potentially leading to partial compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. While the vulnerability has a high FAUCET Risk Score of 84/100, there is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage.
