CVE-2005-3210 describes a bypass vulnerability in unspecified versions of Kaspersky Antivirus. This flaw allows remote attackers to circumvent virus detection by embedding malicious executables within specially crafted RAR archives that contain malformed central and local headers. While some archiving tools like WinRAR and PowerZip can still open these files, Kaspersky Antivirus fails to properly scan them. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 5.1 (Medium), indicating a network-based attack with high attack complexity, potentially leading to partial confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts. The EPSS score is very low, suggesting a minimal likelihood of exploitation. There is no evidence of active exploitation, nor is there any publicly available exploit code in Metasploit, Nuclei, or ExploitDB. Community discussion and media coverage for this CVE are virtually nonexistent, further indicating a lack of widespread attention or exploitation.
