CVE-2002-2132 describes a vulnerability in Windows File Protection (WFP) in Windows 2000 and XP, where the system fails to remove outdated security catalog (.CAT) files. This oversight allows a local attacker to substitute newer, secure files with older, vulnerable versions that still possess valid hash codes, thereby bypassing security measures. The vulnerability has a low CVSS score of 2.1 (AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N), indicating local access, low attack complexity, no authentication required, and a potential for partial integrity impact. There is no evidence of active exploitation, no known exploit code available in Metasploit, Nuclei, or ExploitDB, and it has received no community discussion or media coverage, suggesting a very low level of public attention and exploitation risk.
