Threat H.E-W.GH.8

URI: H.E-W.GH.8

Package: VulnerabilityCVSS

< prev | next >

Description: Vulnerability (W) discovered at Host: software vulnerability found in device Host, which could allow an attack by self-propagating malware, and may be known to attackers. Statistics not analysed, but should be less likely than user-level access because someone would need to know about the vulnerability and then develop fully automated and self-propagating malware able to attack it.

Threat Type: Secondary Threat

Matching Pattern:

MP-GH

Finds a General Host (i.e. a host that can run arbitrary processes).

Triggered by Threat (1)
