Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 27/100)

- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 3.1% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 87.4% of all records.
- Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. A user must open a link or visit a page. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- 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.
