CVE-2010-10015

43
FAUCET Score

CVE-2010-10015 describes a stack-based buffer overflow in the Phobos.dll ActiveX control within AOL versions up to 9.5, specifically affecting the Phobos.Playlist COM object's Import() method. This vulnerability, with a CVSS score of 8.4 (HIGH), allows remote code execution if a malicious HTML file is opened locally, as the control is not marked safe for scripting. While a Metasploit module exists, the affected legacy AOL 9.5 software is long discontinued and no longer maintained. Despite high community discussion, there is no indication of active exploitation, and it is not listed in CISA's KEV catalog.
