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: 0.27% (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: Roundcube Webmail 1.6.17, 1.7.2.
  • Severity is disputed: the assigning authority (CNA) scores it 4.3, NVD 6.5.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to Roundcube Webmail 1.6.17, 1.7.2 or later.
