30
FAUCET Score

CVE-2017-0115 is an information disclosure vulnerability in Uniscribe, a text rendering engine in Microsoft Windows Vista SP2, Server 2008 SP2/R2 SP1, and Windows 7 SP1. This flaw allows remote attackers to extract sensitive data from process memory by luring users to a specially crafted website. With a CVSS score of 4.3 (Medium), this vulnerability requires user interaction (UI:R) to exploit, as a victim must visit a malicious site. While the attack complexity is low (AC:L), successful exploitation could lead to the disclosure of confidential information (C:L). There is no evidence of active exploitation in the wild, nor is it listed in CISA's KEV catalog. However, public exploit code exists on ExploitDB (EDB-41655), indicating a potential for future exploitation. Community discussion and media coverage for this CVE are minimal.
