CriticalCVSS 10.0 · v2.0—Proof of concept No fix recorded

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Plan (action score 44/100)

  • Public proof-of-concept code exists (Exploit-DB); there is no record of exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 12.2% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 96.2% of all records.
  • No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • According to the record, no fixed version is available yet.

Add it to your regular patch cycle. Update when a fix is released; follow the vendor's advisory.
