48
FAUCET Score

CVE-2016-1013 is a critical use-after-free vulnerability in Adobe Flash Player affecting versions prior to 18.0.0.343, 21.0.0.213, and 11.2.202.616 on Windows, OS X, and Linux, respectively. This flaw allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code through unspecified vectors. With a CVSS score of 8.8 (High), successful exploitation requires user interaction (UI:R) but has low attack complexity (AC:L), leading to high impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. While not listed on CISA's KEV catalog, an ExploitDB entry (EDB-39778) exists, indicating public exploit code availability, despite no reported active exploitation, Metasploit modules, or significant community discussion.
