The IPersistPropertyBag2::Read function in QTPlugin.ocx in Apple QuickTime 6.x, 7.x before 7.6.8, and other versions allows remote attackers
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Plan (action score 50/100)
- A ready-made attack module is public (Metasploit); exploiting it takes no special expertise.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 42.6% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 98.6% of all records.
- 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.
Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it
Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
The IPersistPropertyBag2::Read function in QTPlugin.ocx in Apple QuickTime 6.x, 7.x before 7.6.8, and other versions allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via the _Marshaled_pUnk attribute, which triggers unmarshalling of an untrusted pointer.
