HIGHCVSS v2 · 7.67.6—
EchelonGraph scoreLOW confidence

This CVE was only ever scored under CVSS v2.0. NVD CVSS v2.0 base 7.6 — v2 rates that HIGH (v2 bands: LOW 0.0–3.9 / MEDIUM 4.0–6.9 / HIGH 7.0–10.0; v2 has no CRITICAL band). Vector AV:N/AC:H/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C. CVSS v2 is an older, coarser metric than v3.1/v4.0 (no Scope, no User Interaction, no Attack Requirements), so it is not directly comparable to a v3 or v4 score. NVD has never re-scored this record under v3. EPSS predicts 83.5% exploitation probability in the next 30 days, which is reflected in EG Risk but does not lift the v2 base. Confidence: LOW.

No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.

clamav-milter in ClamAV before 0.91.2, when run in black hole mode, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters that are used in a certain popen call, involving the "recipient field of sendmail."
