Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 23/100)

  • 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: 10.6% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 95.8% of all records.
  • No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: cups (Debian:12) 1.1.19final-1; cupsys (Debian:3.0) 1.1.14-5.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to cups (Debian:12) 1.1.19final-1; cupsys (Debian:3.0) 1.1.14-5 or later.
