Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 25/100)

  • A ready-made attack module is public (Metasploit); exploiting it takes no special expertise.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 26% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 97.9% of all records.
  • According to the record, no fixed version is available yet.

Low priority for now. Update when a fix is released; follow the vendor's advisory.

    Weakness class (CWE)

    CVSS vector

    AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N

    nvd-primary

    Root cause

    A user-supplied file name is joined with the allowed directory, but the result is never checked to confirm it is still inside that directory.
