CVE-2002-1138

21
FAUCET Score

CVE-2002-1138 describes a vulnerability in Microsoft SQL Server 7.0 and 2000, including MSDE 1.0 and 2000, where scheduled jobs write output files with SQL Server's privileges rather than the initiating entity's. This allows an unauthenticated attacker to overwrite system files, leading to potential data integrity and availability issues. With a CVSS score of 7.5, this flaw is considered highly severe due to its low attack complexity and significant impact (confidentiality, integrity, availability). Despite its age and severity, there is no evidence of active exploitation, publicly available exploit code, or significant community discussion or media coverage.
