1.2
CVSS v3.1
Official Description
The ARCserve agent in UnixWare allows local attackers to modify arbitrary files via a symlink attack.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2000-0154 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
A proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit exists for CVE-2000-0154. While not yet confirmed in active campaigns, the availability of PoC code increases exploitation risk substantially.
