Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 32/100)
- 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: 5.9% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 93.1% 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.
- According to CISA the attack is automatable: targets can be found by mass scanning.
- Fixed version: netty (Debian:10) 1:4.1.33-1+deb10u3; netty (Debian:11) 1:4.1.48-4+deb11u1; netty (Debian:12) 1:4.1.48-6.
- Mentioned 3 times in Turkish national cyber security advisories (siberguvenlik.gov.tr).
Low priority for now. Upgrade to netty (Debian:10) 1:4.1.33-1+deb10u3; netty (Debian:11) 1:4.1.48-4+deb11u1; netty (Debian:12) 1:4.1.48-6 or later.
