CVE-2014-4650
Last modified
CVE-2014-4650 is a critical-severity vulnerability rated 9.8/10 on the CVSS scale. The CGIHTTPServer module in Python 2.7.5 and 3.3.4 does not properly handle URLs in which URL encoding is used for path separators, which allows remote attackers to read script source code or conduct directory traversal attacks and execute unintended code via a crafted character sequence, as demonstrated by a %2f separator.. EPSS estimates a 24.15% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
