Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 36/100)
- 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: 1.6% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 76.5% of all records.
- Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- Fixed version: imlib2 (Debian:12) 1.6.1-2; imlib2 (openSUSE:Tumbleweed) 1.11.1-2.1.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to imlib2 (Debian:12) 1.6.1-2; imlib2 (openSUSE:Tumbleweed) 1.11.1-2.1 or later.
