HighCVSS 7.8 · v3.1—No exploit Fix available

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 31/100)

  • 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: 0.30% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Someone with local access to the system can trigger it. No account or password is required. A user must open a link or visit a page. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: opensuse-welcome (openSUSE:Leap 15.4) 0.1.9+git.0.66be0d8-bp154.2.6.1; opensuse-welcome (openSUSE:Leap 15.5) 0.1.9+git.35.4b9444a-bp155.2.3.1; opensuse-welcome (SUSE:Package Hub 15 SP4) 0.1.9+git.0.66be0d8-bp154.2.6.1.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to opensuse-welcome (openSUSE:Leap 15.4) 0.1.9+git.0.66be0d8-bp154.2.6.1; opensuse-welcome (openSUSE:Leap 15.5) 0.1.9+git.35.4b9444a-bp155.2.3.1; opensuse-welcome (SUSE:Package Hub 15 SP4) 0.1.9+git.0.66be0d8-bp154.2.6.1 or later.
