CVE-2003-0715

45
FAUCET Score

CVE-2003-0715 describes a critical heap-based buffer overflow in the Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM) interface of the RPCSS Service, affecting Microsoft Windows 2000, 2003 Server, NT, and XP. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by sending a malformed DCERPC DCOM object activation request with manipulated length fields. With a CVSS score of 10.0, it represents a severe risk due to its network-based attack vector, low complexity, and complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Despite its high EPSS and FAUCET Risk Score, there is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage.
