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% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 63.3% 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.
- Fixed version: Dreamer CMS 4.1.3.1.
- Severity is disputed: the assigning authority (CNA) scores it 6.3, NVD 8.8.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to Dreamer CMS 4.1.3.1 or later.
