CVE-2005-1795 describes a critical arbitrary code execution vulnerability affecting Clam AntiVirus (ClamAV) versions prior to 0.85, specifically on Mac OS. The flaw resides in the filecopy function, where improper handling of shell metacharacters in filenames, combined with HFS permission issues preventing file deletion, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code. With a CVSS score of 7.5 (High), this vulnerability presents a significant risk due to its network-based attack vector and low attack complexity, potentially leading to partial confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts. The EPSS score is low, suggesting a low probability of exploitation in the wild. Currently, there is no evidence of active exploitation, and no public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB) is available. Community discussion and media coverage for this CVE are minimal, indicating a lack of widespread attention.
