MediumCVSS 4.9 · v3.1—No exploit Fix available

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 19/100)

  • 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: 0.45% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. Administrator privileges are required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: azl3 mariadb 10.11.11-1 on Azure Linux 3.0 10.11.15-1; cbl2 mariadb 10.6.21-1 on CBL Mariner 2.0 10.6.24-1; cbl2 mariadb 10.6.21-1 on CBL-Mariner 2.0 10.6.24-1.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to azl3 mariadb 10.11.11-1 on Azure Linux 3.0 10.11.15-1; cbl2 mariadb 10.6.21-1 on CBL Mariner 2.0 10.6.24-1; cbl2 mariadb 10.6.21-1 on CBL-Mariner 2.0 10.6.24-1 or later.
