“▲” beside the score: it is higher than NVD's CVSS score.

Score elevated to 8.2 because EPSS predicted 50% probability of exploitation within the next 30 days (98th percentile of EPSS-scored CVEs) when EchelonGraph scored this CVE. NVD baseline CVSS 7.8 retained for reference. Confidence: see factors.

EG Risk 55/100

EG Risk is EchelonGraph's 0–100 priority score. It fuses impact severity (EG Severity, the CVSS base score, never the KEV-floored or EPSS-lifted EG Score) with real-world exploitation and automatability, under weights EchelonGraph set by hand, so you can rank equal-severity CVEs and fix the most dangerous first. Higher = act sooner.

The EG score (8.2): severity, escalated by confirmed exploitation. This CVE's 8.2 is EPSS's lift toward 9.0 from its impact severity (EG Severity, CVSS 7.8 HIGH): a likelihood of exploitation, not impact.

Exploitation none (CISA Vulnrichment) · Automatable no (CISA Vulnrichment) · Technical impact total (CISA Vulnrichment). All three are CISA's SSVC values (Vulnrichment). EchelonGraph applied CISA's decision table to them; CISA publishes SSVC inputs and the table, not a decision for each CVE. Mission impact is CISA's Mission & Well-being decision point, and only you can judge it. CISA's table makes it high when Mission Prevalence is Essential — the vulnerable component "directly provides capabilities that constitute at least one MEF for at least one entity" (MEF: mission essential function) — or when Public Well-Being Impact is Irreversible: "multiple fatalities are likely", the cyber-physical system "is likely lost or destroyed", "extreme or serious externalities" are imposed on other parties, or social systems such as elections or the financial grid "are destabilized and potentially collapse".

Data Freshness Timeline

(refreshed 8× in last 7d / 40× 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). Most recent first.

Showing the most recent 95 of 190 refreshes on record for this CVE.

A repeat, a row identical to one the same pipeline wrote less than 10 seconds earlier, is not a separate refresh and is not counted. 5 repeat rows among the latest 100 are merged into the row they repeat. The 95 oldest rows on record are not shown and were not checked, so the counts can still include repeats.

Frequently asked(5)

What is CVE-2019-5436?
CVE-2019-5436 is a high-severity vulnerability; its CVE record was published on May 28, 2019. A heap buffer overflow in the TFTP receiving code allows for DoS or arbitrary code execution in libcurl versions 7.19.4 through 7.64.1.
When was CVE-2019-5436 made public?
CVE-2019-5436 was made public on May 22, 2019: that is the date its CVE record's CNA, HackerOne, gives for when the vulnerability was made public. The CVE record itself was published on May 28, 2019. EchelonGraph's copy of the record carries a last-modified date of October 14, 2026; the record at its source may have been updated since.
Is CVE-2019-5436 actively exploited?
CVE-2019-5436 is not currently on CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog. FIRST EPSS estimates a 50% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days (98th percentile of EPSS-scored CVEs).
What is the CVSS score of CVE-2019-5436?
CVE-2019-5436 has a CVSS v3 base score of 7.8 (NVD). EchelonGraph synthesises NVD + FIRST EPSS + GHSA into a combined EG score of 8.2 (HIGH).
How do I remediate CVE-2019-5436?
A fix for CVE-2019-5436 is available: update to the fixed version the vendor names in its advisory. The vendor advisories EchelonGraph has for CVE-2019-5436 are linked in the Vendor Advisories panel on this page.
