02 Description

Arbitrary configuration injection via `git submodule deinit`

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: 5.60% probability of exploitation activity in the next 30 days.
EPSS percentile: Equal to or higher than the score of 92.7% 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:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
NVD analysis status: Modified. NVD last modified this record on 2026-06-17.
Red Hat severity: Important. 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.
