CVE-2018-15812

69
FAUCET Score

CVE-2018-15812 affects DNN (DotNetNuke) versions 9.2 through 9.2.1, stemming from an incorrect conversion of encryption key source values that leads to reduced entropy. This vulnerability carries a high CVSS score of 7.5, indicating a critical risk due to its network-based attack vector, low attack complexity, and high potential for confidentiality impact without requiring user interaction. While not listed in CISA's KEV catalog, exploit code is publicly available, including a Metasploit module for remote code execution via cookie deserialization, though there is minimal community discussion or media coverage.
