CVE-2007-3701
TippingPoint IPS before 20070710 does not properly handle a hex-encoded alternate Unicode '/' (slash) character, which might allow remote attackers to send certain network traffic and avoid detection, as demonstrated by a cmd.exe attack.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (8.48%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
