MediumCVSS 6.8 · v3.1—No exploit Fix available

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 29/100)

  • 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: 6% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 93.5% of all records.
  • Someone on the same network segment can trigger it. Administrator privileges are required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: Progress LoadMaster 7.2.61.0.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to Progress LoadMaster 7.2.61.0 or later.
