MediumCVSS 4.4 · v3.1—No exploit Fix available

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 17/100)

  • 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: 0.15% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Someone with local access to the system can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: Hitachi Hitachi Ops Center Analyzer 10.9.0-00; Hitachi Hitachi Ops Center Viewpoint 10.9.0-00.
  • Severity is disputed: the assigning authority (CNA) scores it 6.6, NVD 4.4.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to Hitachi Hitachi Ops Center Analyzer 10.9.0-00; Hitachi Hitachi Ops Center Viewpoint 10.9.0-00 or later.
