Noroxi assessment

Priority: This week (action score 68/100)

  • CISA has confirmed exploitation in the wild (May 16, 2024). Remediation deadline for US federal agencies: Jun 6, 2024.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 11% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 95.9% 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: Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) 124.0.2478.105.

Don’t wait for the next maintenance window. Upgrade to Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) 124.0.2478.105 or later.

Vulnrichment: CISA's decision-tree inputs.

Actively exploited in the wild

CISA added this to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on May 16, 2024. That signals real attacks, not theory.

Remediation deadline for US federal agencies: Jun 6, 2024.
