CVE-2019-11068

32
FAUCET Score

CVE-2019-11068 is a critical vulnerability in libxslt versions up to 1.1.33, affecting various products from vendors like Canonical, Debian, and Oracle. It allows attackers to bypass a protection mechanism by crafting a URL that causes xsltCheckRead to return a -1 error, which is then incorrectly interpreted as permission to access the resource. This vulnerability has a CVSS score of 9.8 (Critical) due to its network-based attack vector, low attack complexity, and high potential impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. There is currently no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage.
