Nanopool Claymore Dual Miner version 7.3 and earlier contains a remote code execution vulnerability by abusing the miner API. The flaw can be exploited only if the software is executed with read/write mode enabled.
CVE-2018-1000049
Score elevated to 8.8 because EPSS predicts 77% probability of exploitation within the next 30 days (top 0.5% of all CVEs). NVD baseline CVSS 7.5 retained for reference. Confidence: see factors.
- High exploitation likelihood — EPSS 77%
- Public exploit code is available (Metasploit, Exploit-DB (verified), epss top5pct, epss high, public exploit)
No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.
