Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 26/100)

  • 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: 0.26% (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: firefox-esr (openSUSE:Tumbleweed) 140.2.0-1.1; MozillaFirefox (openSUSE:Tumbleweed) 142.0.1-1.1; MozillaFirefox (SUSE:Linux Enterprise Module for Desktop Applications 15 SP6) 140.2.0-150200.152.198.1.
