03 Exploitation and scoring

Exploitation

Exploited in the wild. Listed in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on 2024-09-09. Federal remediation due 2024-09-30.

SSVC decision

ExploitationactiveCISA reports credible evidence of active exploitation.
AutomatablenoAt least one step from reconnaissance to exploitation cannot be reliably automated.
Technical ImpacttotalSuccessful exploitation gives total control of the vulnerable component.

CISA publishes the decision points, not a final SSVC decision. The decision also depends on mission and well-being impact, which is a property of your deployment rather than of the vulnerability.

EPSS probability

10.70% probability of exploitation activity in the next 30 days.

EPSS percentile

Ranks above 95.4% of scored records. A rank, not a probability.

NVD base score

7.8 (CVSS v3.x), scored by the NVD independently of the CNA.

NVD CVSS vector

CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

NVD analysis status

Analyzed. NVD last modified this record on 2026-06-17.
