41
FAUCET Score

CVE-2011-5002 describes multiple stack-based buffer overflows in Final Draft 8 prior to version 8.02. This critical vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by crafting malicious .fdx or .fdxt files containing excessively long elements such as Word, Transition, or Character. With a CVSS score of 10.0, it presents a severe risk due to its network-based attack vector, low complexity, and complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. While not listed on the KEV catalog, a Metasploit module for exploitation exists on ExploitDB, indicating readily available exploit code, though there is no evidence of active exploitation or significant community discussion.
