CVE-2001-0800: lpsched in IRIX 6.5.13f and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters.
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Plan (action score 56/100)
- A ready-made attack module is public (Metasploit); exploiting it takes no special expertise.
- Public proof-of-concept code exists (Exploit-DB); there is no record of exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 54.1% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 99% of all records.
- No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- According to the record, no fixed version is available yet.
Add it to your regular patch cycle. Update when a fix is released; follow the vendor's advisory.
