CVE-2016-0780

CVE-2016-0780 describes a disk quota enforcement bypass vulnerability affecting cf-release v231 and earlier, and specific versions of Pivotal Cloud Foundry Elastic Runtime (1.5.x prior to 1.5.17 and 1.6.x prior to 1.6.18). An attacker could exploit this flaw by providing an improper disk quota value, allowing them to consume all available disk space on DEAs/CELLs. This could lead to a denial of service for other applications running on the affected platform. The vulnerability has a CVSS v3.1 score of 7.5 (HIGH), indicating a network-based attack with low complexity and no user interaction required, resulting in a high impact on availability. While the EPSS score is low, suggesting a low probability of exploitation, the FAUCET Risk Score is 50/100. There is no evidence of active exploitation, nor is exploit code available in Metasploit, Nuclei, or ExploitDB. The vulnerability has received minimal community discussion and media coverage, suggesting it is not a widely recognized or actively targeted threat.
