CVE-2004-1177

14
FAUCET Score

CVE-2004-1177 describes a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in GNU Mailman versions prior to 2.1.5, specifically within its driver script. This flaw allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML into an error page via a specially crafted URL, due to improper escaping. With a CVSS score of 4.3 (medium severity), successful exploitation requires user interaction (medium attack complexity) and could lead to information disclosure or defacement, though it does not impact confidentiality, integrity, or availability of the Mailman server itself. There is no evidence of active exploitation, readily available exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage surrounding this vulnerability.
