Which packages are affected by CVE-2015-1612?

CVE-2015-1612 affects the following packages: org.opendaylight.openflowplugin:openflowplugin (Maven). Ecosystems affected: Maven.

How do I fix CVE-2015-1612?

Update org.opendaylight.openflowplugin:openflowplugin to 0.0.6-Helium-SR3 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2015-1612 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect CVE-2015-1612 in my Maven dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for org.opendaylight.openflowplugin:openflowplugin, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

How do I mitigate CVE-2015-1612 if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.

Is CVE-2015-1612 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for CVE-2015-1612 yet. This does not mean the vulnerability cannot be exploited — absence of public exploits does not imply safety. Apply the recommended fix and use O3 Security to monitor your exposure.

What is the EPSS score for CVE-2015-1612?

CVE-2015-1612 has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 2.1%, placing it in the 81th percentile of all CVEs. EPSS is maintained by FIRST.org and estimates the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited in the wild within the next 30 days. This score indicates relatively lower exploitation probability, though the CVSS severity should still guide your patching priority.
