FAUCET Score

CVE-2007-0843 is an information disclosure vulnerability affecting Microsoft Windows 2000, XP, Server 2003, and Vista. It allows local users to bypass file permissions by using the ReadDirectoryChangesW API function to monitor changes in child objects, even if they lack LIST permissions, thereby revealing filenames and access times. This vulnerability has a CVSS score of 4.6, indicating a low severity with local access, low attack complexity, and partial impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. While not listed in CISA's KEV catalog, an ExploitDB entry (EDB-29630) exists, but there is no evidence of active exploitation, Metasploit modules, Nuclei templates, or significant community discussion or media coverage.
