03 Exploitation and scoring
- Exploitation
- Not assessed. CISA has not published an exploitation assessment for this record, and it is not in the KEV catalog. That is an absence of assessment, not a finding of no risk.
- SSVC decision
- Not assessed by CISA
- EPSS probability
- 1.43% probability of exploitation activity in the next 30 days.
- EPSS percentile
- Equal to or higher than the score of 72.5% of scored records. A rank, not a probability.
- NVD base score
- 6.1 (CVSS v3.x), scored by the NVD independently of the CNA.
- NVD CVSS vector
- CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:N/A:H
- NVD analysis status
- Modified. NVD last modified this record on 2026-10-14.
- Red Hat severity
- Moderate. Red Hat's rating for its own products, not a CVSS rating.
Exploit-prediction scores from FIRST. Independent scoring and analysis status from the NVD. Vendor severity from Red Hat. Exploitation assessment and catalog membership from CISA.
