Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 26/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 4.7% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 92% of all records.
- No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- Fixed version: flash-plugin (Red Hat:rhel_extras:5::client) 0:11.2.202.460-1.el5; flash-plugin (Red Hat:rhel_extras:6) 0:11.2.202.460-1.el6_6; flash-player (SUSE:Linux Enterprise Desktop 12) 11.2.202.460-83.1.
