- SSVC decision
- Not assessed by CISA
- EPSS probability
- 29.72% probability of exploitation activity in the next 30 days.
- EPSS percentile
- Equal to or higher than the score of 98.1% of scored records. A rank, not a probability.
- NVD base score

- NVD CVSS vector
- CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N
- NVD analysis status
- Modified. NVD last modified this record on 2026-06-17.
