CVE-2017-16180

20
FAUCET Score

CVE-2017-16180 describes a directory traversal vulnerability in serverabc, a static file server, allowing an unauthenticated attacker to access arbitrary files on the filesystem by manipulating URLs with "../" sequences. This vulnerability carries a CVSS v3.0 score of 7.5 (High), indicating a critical risk due to its network-based attack vector, low attack complexity, and high confidentiality impact. While no active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion has been observed, its FAUCET Risk Score of 51/100 and EPSS score suggest a non-negligible threat. Organizations using serverabc should prioritize patching or implementing mitigation strategies to prevent unauthorized file access.
