5.0
CVSS v3.1
Official Description
The Sambar server includes batch files ECHO.BAT and HELLO.BAT in the CGI directory, which allow remote attackers to execute commands via shell metacharacters.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2000-0213 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
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-2000-0213. While not yet confirmed in active campaigns, the availability of PoC code increases exploitation risk substantially.
