Last updated: 15 Feb 2026, 23:25 UTC
This page consolidates all known Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) associated with monkey-project. We track both calendar-based metrics (using fixed periods) and rolling metrics (using gliding windows) to give you a comprehensive view of security trends and risk evolution. Use these insights to assess risk and plan your patching strategy.
For a broader perspective on cybersecurity threats, explore the comprehensive list of CVEs by vendor and product. Stay updated on critical vulnerabilities affecting major software and hardware providers.
Total monkey-project CVEs: 9
Earliest CVE date: 31 Dec 2002, 05:00 UTC
Latest CVE date: 29 Jan 2026, 20:16 UTC
Latest CVE reference: CVE-2025-63658
30-day Count (Rolling): 6
365-day Count (Rolling): 6
Calendar-based Variation
Calendar-based Variation compares a fixed calendar period (e.g., this month versus the same month last year), while Rolling Growth Rate uses a continuous window (e.g., last 30 days versus the previous 30 days) to capture trends independent of calendar boundaries.
Month Variation (Calendar): 0%
Year Variation (Calendar): 0%
Month Growth Rate (30-day Rolling): 0.0%
Year Growth Rate (365-day Rolling): 0.0%
Average CVSS: 4.23
Max CVSS: 7.5
Critical CVEs (≥9): 0
| Range | Count |
|---|---|
| 0.0-3.9 | 7 |
| 4.0-6.9 | 16 |
| 7.0-8.9 | 3 |
| 9.0-10.0 | 0 |
These are the five CVEs with the highest CVSS scores for monkey-project, sorted by severity first and recency.
A stack overflow in the mk_http_index_lookup function (mk_server/mk_http.c) of monkey commit f37e984 allows attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via sending a crafted HTTP request to the server.
An out-of-bounds read in the mk_mimetype_find function (mk_server/mk_mimetype.c) of monkey commit f37e984 allows attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via sending a crafted HTTP request to the server.
An out-of-bounds read in the header_cmp function (mk_server/mk_http_parser.c) of monkey commit f37e984 allows attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via sending a crafted HTTP request to the server.
A NULL pointer dereference in the mk_http_range_parse function (mk_server/mk_http.c) of monkey commit f37e984 allows attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via sending a crafted HTTP request to the server.
An out-of-bounds read in the mk_vhost_fdt_close function (mk_server/mk_vhost.c) of monkey commit f37e984 allows attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via sending a crafted HTTP request to the server.
A use-after-free in the mk_http_request_end function (mk_server/mk_http.c) of monkey commit f37e984 allows attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via sending a crafted HTTP request to the server.
Monkey HTTP Daemon has local security bypass
Monkey HTTP Daemon: broken user name authentication
The web server Monkeyd produces a world-readable log (/var/log/monkeyd/master.log) on gentoo.
Monkey HTTP Server before 1.5.3, when the File Descriptor Table (FDT) is enabled and custom error messages are set, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (file descriptor consumption) via an HTTP request that triggers an error message.
Stack-based buffer overflow in the mk_request_header_process function in mk_request.c in Monkey HTTP Daemon (monkeyd) before 1.2.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted HTTP header.
The Mandril security plugin in Monkey HTTP Daemon (monkeyd) before 1.5.0 allows remote attackers to bypass access restrictions via a crafted URI, as demonstrated by an encoded forward slash.
Monkey HTTP Daemon (monkeyd) before 1.2.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via an offset equal to the file size in the Range HTTP header.
The mk_request_header_process function in mk_request.c in Monkey 1.1.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (thread crash and service outage) via a '\0' character in an HTTP request.
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Directory Listing plugin in Monkey HTTP Daemon (monkeyd) 1.2.2 allows attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a file name.
Monkey HTTP Daemon 0.9.3 might allow local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a PID file, as demonstrated by a pathname different from the default /var/run/monkey.pid pathname.
Monkey HTTP Daemon 0.9.3 retains the supplementary group IDs of the root account during operations with a non-root effective UID, which might allow local users to bypass intended file-read restrictions by leveraging a race condition in a file-permission check.
Monkey HTTP Daemon 0.9.3 uses a real UID of root and a real GID of root during execution of CGI scripts, which might allow local users to gain privileges by leveraging cgi-bin write access.
Monkey daemon (monkeyd) before 0.9.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via a request for a zero byte file.
Format string vulnerability in cgi.c for Monkey daemon (monkeyd) before 0.9.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via an HTTP GET request containing double-encoded format string specifiers (aka "double expansion error").
The get_real_string function in Monkey HTTP Daemon (monkeyd) 0.8.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via an HTTP request with a sequence of "%" characters and a missing Host field.
The Post_Method function in Monkey HTTP Daemon before 0.6.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a POST request without a Content-Type header.
Buffer overflow in PostMethod() function for Monkey HTTP Daemon (monkeyd) 0.6.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a POST request with a large body.
The Post_Method function in method.c for Monkey HTTP Daemon before 0.5.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a POST request with an invalid or missing Content-Length header value.
Directory traversal vulnerability in Monkey HTTP Daemon 0.1.4 allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via .. (dot dot) sequences.
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Monkey 0.5.0 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via (1) the URL or (2) a parameter to test2.pl.
