- Exploited in the wild. Listed in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on 2022-05-10. Federal remediation due 2022-05-31. Known ransomware campaign use: reported by CISA.
- SSVC decision
- ExploitationactiveCISA reports credible evidence of active exploitation.
- AutomatableyesAn attacker can reliably automate reconnaissance through exploitation, so this scales.
- Technical ImpacttotalSuccessful exploitation gives total control of the vulnerable component.
- EPSS probability
- 99.95% probability of exploitation activity in the next 30 days.
- EPSS percentile
- Equal to or higher than the score of 99.9% of scored records. A rank, not a probability.
- NVD base score
- 9.8 (CVSS v3.x), scored by the NVD independently of the CNA.
- NVD CVSS vector
- CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
