This vulnerability requires persistently and repeatedly connecting to the process to be exploited, even after the connecting process crashes with high likelihood due to ASLR.","published":"2026-04-14T16:16:49.000Z","lastModified":"2026-10-26T21:10:00.000Z","status":"Awaiting Analysis","sourceIdentifier":"cna@python.org","cvss":{"version":"4.0","score":5.3,"severity":"MEDIUM","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:H/AT:P/PR:H/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:X/CR:X/IR:X/AR:X/MAV:X/MAC:X/MAT:X/MPR:X/MUI:X/MVC:X/M"},"cwe":["CWE-121","CWE-125"],"affected":[],"epss":{"score":0.00132,"percentile":0.02776,"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 (0.13%).
