Scripting Engine Memory Corruption Vulnerability
Noroxi assessment
Priority: This week (action score 68/100)
- CISA has confirmed exploitation in the wild (May 13, 2025). Remediation deadline for US federal agencies: Jun 3, 2025.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 27.2% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 98% 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. Special conditions such as timing or configuration are required.
- Fixed version: Windows 10 for 32-bit Systems 10.0.10240.21014; Windows 10 for x64-based Systems 10.0.10240.21014; Windows 10 Version 1607 for 32-bit Systems 10.0.14393.8066.
Don’t wait for the next maintenance window. Upgrade to Windows 10 for 32-bit Systems 10.0.10240.21014; Windows 10 for x64-based Systems 10.0.10240.21014; Windows 10 Version 1607 for 32-bit Systems 10.0.14393.8066 or later.
