Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 21/100)

  • 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: 0.24% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: dcmtk (Debian:12) 3.6.7-9~deb12u4; dcmtk (Debian:13) 3.6.9-5+deb13u1; dcmtk (Debian:14) 3.7.0+really3.7.0-5.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to dcmtk (Debian:12) 3.6.7-9~deb12u4; dcmtk (Debian:13) 3.6.9-5+deb13u1; dcmtk (Debian:14) 3.7.0+really3.7.0-5 or later.

Get told when this record changes

  • Not in KEV: no record of exploitation in the wild
  • No public exploit code on record
  • A fix has been released

Follow it and we'll tell you in the daily email digest when the record enters KEV, gets exploit code, is updated (including a fix) or its EPSS rises 20 points in a week. Connect a webhook and KEV listings and weaponized exploits arrive instantly.
