An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted VBA data to the Snort 3 Detection Engine on the targeted device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause the Snort 3 Detection Engine to unexpectedly restart causing a a denial of service (DoS) condition.","published":"2026-03-04T18:16:20.000Z","lastModified":"2026-08-20T15:10:20.000Z","status":"Analyzed","sourceIdentifier":"psirt@cisco.com","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":5.8,"severity":"MEDIUM","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:N/A:L"},"cwe":["CWE-369"],"affected":["cisco/snort","cisco/cyber vision","cisco/secure firewall threat defense","cisco/unified threat defense snort intrusion prevention system engine"],"epss":{"score":0.00459,"percentile":0.39608,"date":"2026-10-27","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"low","text":"Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.46%).
