CVE-2002-1776

CVE-2002-1776 describes a disputed vulnerability in Symantec Norton AntiVirus 2002 where remote attackers could bypass virus protection. This was allegedly achieved by disguising a Word Macro virus with a .nch or .dbx extension, leading to its automatic recognition and execution as a Microsoft Office document. The CVSS score of 7.5 indicates a high severity, with a network attack vector, low complexity, and potential for partial compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Despite the vendor's dispute, no public exploits, Metasploit modules, or Nuclei templates are available, and there is no evidence of active exploitation or significant community discussion.
