External lookup

Potential internet exposure

Potential exposure only — not proof of vulnerability.Shodan results indicate potentially internet-exposed products, not confirmed vulnerable systems. They do not confirm that any returned system is vulnerable to CVE-1999-0731.

Product-level CPE searches intentionally omit version fields and NVD version-range or configuration certainty. Verify the exact product version and configuration independently.

Sign-in required. Shodan requires you to sign in to run these filter searches.

How this vector reads

CVSS 2.0 base metrics decoded below. This explanation does not recalculate or change the NVD score.

Access Vector (AV): Local. The attacker needs local access to the vulnerable system.
Access Complexity (AC): Low. No special conditions beyond the attacker-controlled steps are required.
Authentication (Au): None. The attacker does not need to authenticate.
Confidentiality Impact (C): Partial. There is a limited impact to this security property.
Integrity Impact (I): Partial. There is a limited impact to this security property.
Availability Impact (A): Partial. There is a limited impact to this security property.
