Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 17/100)

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: 0.45% (FIRST EPSS).
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: chromium (Debian:12) 128.0.6613.84-1~deb12u1; chromium (Debian:13) 128.0.6613.84-1; chromium (openSUSE:Leap 15.5) 128.0.6613.84-bp156.2.17.1.
Mentioned 1 time in Turkish national cyber security advisories (siberguvenlik.gov.tr).

Low priority for now. Upgrade to chromium (Debian:12) 128.0.6613.84-1~deb12u1; chromium (Debian:13) 128.0.6613.84-1; chromium (openSUSE:Leap 15.5) 128.0.6613.84-bp156.2.17.1 or later.
