23
FAUCET Score

CVE-2013-4444 describes an unrestricted file upload vulnerability in Apache Tomcat 7.x before version 7.0.40. This flaw, under specific conditions involving outdated Java I/O code and a custom JMX configuration, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by uploading and then accessing a malicious JSP file. With a CVSS score of 6.8 (Medium), it carries a moderate risk due to network-based attacks with medium complexity, potentially leading to partial confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts. While the FAUCET Risk Score is high at 85/100, there is no evidence of active exploitation, publicly available exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage.
