CVE-2016-0992

23
FAUCET Score

CVE-2016-0992 is a critical memory corruption vulnerability affecting Adobe Flash Player, AIR, AIR SDK, and AIR SDK & Compiler across Windows, OS X, and Linux platforms. This flaw allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service through unspecified vectors. With a CVSS v3.1 score of 8.8 (High), exploitation requires user interaction (UI:R) but has low attack complexity (AC:L), leading to high impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability (C:H/I:H/A:H). While not listed in CISA's KEV catalog, its FAUCET Risk Score of 84/100 and media coverage indicate significant concern. There is no public exploit code available in Metasploit, Nuclei, or ExploitDB, and community discussion is limited.
