HighCVSS 7.8 · v3.1—No exploit Fix available

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 31/100)

  • 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: 1.2% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 68.9% of all records.
  • Someone with local access to the system 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: chromium-browser (Debian:8) 57.0.2987.98-1~deb8u1; chromium-browser (Red Hat:rhel_extras:6) 0:57.0.2987.98-1.el6; chromium-browser-debuginfo (Red Hat:rhel_extras:6) 0:57.0.2987.98-1.el6.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to chromium-browser (Debian:8) 57.0.2987.98-1~deb8u1; chromium-browser (Red Hat:rhel_extras:6) 0:57.0.2987.98-1.el6; chromium-browser-debuginfo (Red Hat:rhel_extras:6) 0:57.0.2987.98-1.el6 or later.
