25
FAUCET Score

CVE-2017-8048 is a high-severity API regression in Cloud Foundry capi-release (versions 1.33.0 to 1.41.x) and cf-release (versions 268 to 273) that allows a space developer to execute arbitrary code on the Cloud Controller VM. This vulnerability, with a CVSS score of 7.8, arises from a flawed fix for a previous CVE, enabling remote code execution with high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. While no active exploitation, public exploit code, or significant community discussion has been observed, the potential for a malicious developer to compromise the Cloud Controller VM remains a serious concern.
