MediumCVSS 4.2 · v3.1KEVWeaponized No fix recorded

Noroxi assessment

Priority: This week (action score 60/100)

  • CISA has confirmed exploitation in the wild (Jun 16, 2025). Remediation deadline for US federal agencies: Jul 7, 2025.
  • A ready-made attack tool exists and the flaw can be exploited over the network without an account, so priority is at least “This week”.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.99% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 63.2% 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.
  • According to the record, no fixed version is available yet.

Don’t wait for the next maintenance window. Until a fix is released, restrict access to the affected component and follow the vendor's advisory.
