CVSS v3.1
Official Description
The Microsoft EXE file parser in eSafe 7.0.17.0 and Prevx 3.0 allows remote attackers to bypass malware detection via an EXE file with a modified value in any of several e_ fields. NOTE: this may later be SPLIT into multiple CVEs if additional information is published showing that the error occurred independently in different EXE parser implementations.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2012-1441 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.
