Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 24/100)

  • 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: 0.39% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Someone with local access to the system can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: mariadb (SUSE:Linux Enterprise Desktop 12 SP1) 10.0.22-3.1.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to mariadb (SUSE:Linux Enterprise Desktop 12 SP1) 10.0.22-3.1 or later.
