29
FAUCET Score

CVE-2022-28048 is a high-severity vulnerability (CVSS 8.8) affecting STB v2.27 and related Fedora projects, stemming from an integer shift of invalid size within the stbi__jpeg_decode_block_prog_ac component. This flaw could allow an unauthenticated attacker to achieve high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability through a low-complexity network attack requiring user interaction. While no public exploits, Metasploit modules, or Nuclei templates are currently available, and there's no evidence of active exploitation or significant community discussion, the potential for severe consequences warrants attention.
