CWE-200Published: August 18, 2003· Updated: Jun 16, 2026
5.0
CVSS v3.1
Official Description
VisNetic WebSite 3.5 allows remote attackers to obtain the full pathname of the server via a request containing a folder that does not exist, which leaks the pathname in an error message, as demonstrated using _vti_bin/fpcount.exe.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2003-0456 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.
From a weakness classification perspective (CWE-200): Information exposure vulnerabilities leak sensitive data to unauthorized actors.
