CVSS v3.1
Official Description
Unknown vulnerability in passwd(1) in Solaris 8.0 and 9.0 allows local users to gain privileges via unknown attack vectors.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2004-0360 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-2004-0360. While not yet confirmed in active campaigns, the availability of PoC code increases exploitation risk substantially.
