Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 35/100)

  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 1% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 63.9% of all records.
  • Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
