Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 35/100)

  • 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: 1.1% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 68.3% of all records.
  • Anyone who can reach it over the internet 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: webkit2gtk3 (openSUSE:Leap 15.5) 2.44.2-150400.4.83.2; webkit2gtk3-soup2 (openSUSE:Leap 15.5) 2.44.2-150400.4.83.2; webkit2gtk4 (openSUSE:Leap 15.5) 2.44.2-150400.4.83.2.
  • Mentioned 1 time in Turkish national cyber security advisories (siberguvenlik.gov.tr).

Low priority for now. Upgrade to webkit2gtk3 (openSUSE:Leap 15.5) 2.44.2-150400.4.83.2; webkit2gtk3-soup2 (openSUSE:Leap 15.5) 2.44.2-150400.4.83.2; webkit2gtk4 (openSUSE:Leap 15.5) 2.44.2-150400.4.83.2 or later.
