CVE-2007-0882

CWE-88Published: February 12, 2007· Updated: Jun 16, 2026

10.0

CVSS v3.1

Official Description

Argument injection vulnerability in the telnet daemon (in.telnetd) in Solaris 10 and 11 (SunOS 5.10 and 5.11) misinterprets certain client "-f" sequences as valid requests for the login program to skip authentication, which allows remote attackers to log into certain accounts, as demonstrated by the bin account.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2007-0882 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-2007-0882. While not yet confirmed in active campaigns, the availability of PoC code increases exploitation risk substantially.
