MediumCVSS 6.7 · v3.1—No exploit Fix available

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 26/100)

  • 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: 0.59% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Someone with local access to the system can trigger it. Administrator privileges are required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: CBL Mariner 2.0 ARM 2.3.3op2-8; CBL Mariner 2.0 x64 2.3.3op2-8.
  • Mentioned 1 time in Turkish national cyber security advisories (siberguvenlik.gov.tr).

Low priority for now. Upgrade to CBL Mariner 2.0 ARM 2.3.3op2-8; CBL Mariner 2.0 x64 2.3.3op2-8 or later.
