Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 26/100)

  • 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: 0.58% (FIRST EPSS).
  • 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: ffmpeg (Debian:11) 7:4.3.7-0+deb11u1; ffmpeg (Debian:12) 7:5.1.5-0+deb12u1; ffmpeg (Debian:13) 7:7.0.1-3.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to ffmpeg (Debian:11) 7:4.3.7-0+deb11u1; ffmpeg (Debian:12) 7:5.1.5-0+deb12u1; ffmpeg (Debian:13) 7:7.0.1-3 or later.
