Noroxi assessment

Priority: This week (action score 62/100)

  • CISA has confirmed exploitation in the wild (Nov 21, 2024). Remediation deadline for US federal agencies: Dec 12, 2024.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 21.9% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 97.6% 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 (AlmaLinux:8) 2.46.3-2.el8_10; webkit2gtk3-devel (AlmaLinux:8) 2.46.3-2.el8_10; webkit2gtk3-jsc (AlmaLinux:8) 2.46.3-2.el8_10.
