22
FAUCET Score

CVE-2005-2095 describes a vulnerability in SquirrelMail 1.4.4 and earlier, specifically within the options_identities.php script, where the extract function's processing of the $_POST variable allows remote attackers to manipulate user preferences, execute cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks, and write arbitrary files. With a CVSS score of 4.3 (Medium), this vulnerability has a network attack vector and medium attack complexity, potentially leading to partial confidentiality impact. While not actively exploited in the wild or on the CISA KEV catalog, an ExploitDB entry (EDB-43830) exists, indicating public exploit code availability, though community discussion and media coverage are minimal.
