  • 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: 0.76% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 55.8% of all records.
  • Physical access to the device is required. No account or password is required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: Windows 10 Version 1809 for 32-bit Systems 10.0.17763.6054; Windows 10 Version 1809 for x64-based Systems 10.0.17763.6054; Windows 10 Version 21H2 for 32-bit Systems 10.0.19044.4651.
