In CISA KEV no (CISA's KEV catalog) · Automatable no (CISA's BOD 26-04 default) · Technical impact total (CISA's BOD 26-04 default). Where an input reads “CISA's BOD 26-04 default”, no one has published it for this CVE, and CISA's implementation guidance says: “If “Automatable” and “Technical Impact” information items about a CVE ID are not available and the CVE ID is not in the KEV Catalog, CISA will treat its values as “no” and “total,” respectively, until CISA or a third party provides metadata about the CVE ID. CISA will always provide the Vulnrichment data for a CVE ID listed in the KEV Catalog.” Whether your system is publicly exposed is yours to answer. BOD 26-04 binds US Federal Civilian Executive Branch agencies; for anyone else it is CISA's published timeline, a reference rather than an obligation. The directive · how EchelonGraph applies it

(refreshed 8× in last 7d / 27× in last 30d)

Each row is a time one of our pipelines fetched, updated or re-scored this CVE. For example, "NVD update" means NVD published or revised its analysis for this CVE; "MITRE cvelistV5" means we ingested or refreshed it from the CNA feed. An arrow marks a change the record states ("CVSS v3 → 9.1"); EPSS and GHSA rows show the values recorded at that time, not what changed (EPSS values are rounded; hover one for the exact figures).

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in JBMC Software DirectAdmin 1.28.1 allow remote authenticated users to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the (1) user parameter to (a) CMDSHOWRESELLER or (b) CMDSHOWUSER in the Admin level; the (2) TYPE parameter to (c) CMDTICKETCREATE or…
When was CVE-2006-5983 made public?
CVE-2006-5983 was made public on November 12, 2006: that is the date its CVE record's CNA, MITRE Corporation, gives for when the vulnerability was made public. The CVE record itself was published on November 20, 2006. EchelonGraph's copy of the record carries a last-modified date of August 7, 2024; the record at its source may have been updated since.
Is CVE-2006-5983 actively exploited?
CVE-2006-5983 is not currently on CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog. EchelonGraph's EG-KEV model places it in Tier 2 (Weaponized), which is not evidence of exploitation: Exploit-DB marks a public exploit for it as verified. EchelonGraph does not test whether exploit code works. FIRST EPSS estimates a 1.8% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days (78th percentile of EPSS-scored CVEs).
How do I remediate CVE-2006-5983?
No fix for CVE-2006-5983 has been recorded since its CVE record was published in 2006. Restrict network exposure of the affected system or apply the vendor's mitigation — for example, keep it off the internet or limit it to trusted networks — and check the vendor's advisory for a fix.
