CVE-2016-8018

21
FAUCET Score

CVE-2016-8018 describes a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in Intel Security VirusScan Enterprise Linux (VSEL) versions 2.0.3 and earlier, allowing authenticated remote attackers to execute unauthorized commands through crafted user input. This medium-severity vulnerability (CVSS 4.3) requires high privileges and user interaction, potentially leading to limited impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. While there is no evidence of active exploitation or Metasploit/Nuclei modules, an ExploitDB entry (EDB-40911) exists for remote code execution in earlier VSEL versions, though community discussion and media coverage are minimal.
