Noroxi assessment
Priority: This week (action score 70/100)
- CISA has confirmed exploitation in the wild (May 28, 2024). Remediation deadline for US federal agencies: Jun 18, 2024.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 7.7% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 94.5% 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) 125.0.2535.67.
- Mentioned 1 time in Turkish national cyber security advisories (siberguvenlik.gov.tr).
Don’t wait for the next maintenance window. Upgrade to Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) 125.0.2535.67 or later.
