Noroxi assessment
Priority: Now (action score 82/100)
- CISA has confirmed exploitation in the wild (Aug 26, 2026). Remediation deadline for US federal agencies: Aug 29, 2026.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 57.2% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 99% of all records.
- Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- According to the record, no fixed version is available yet.
- Mentioned 1 time in Turkish national cyber security advisories (siberguvenlik.gov.tr).
Patch today or shut off access. Until a fix is released, restrict access to the affected component and follow the vendor's advisory.
