03 Exploitation and scoring
SRC: CISA, FIRST, NVD, RED HAT- Exploitation
- Assessed, none found. CISA's assessment recorded neither public exploit code nor evidence of exploitation when it was made.
- SSVC decision
- ExploitationnoneCISA recorded no public exploit code and no evidence of exploitation.
- AutomatablenoAt least one step from reconnaissance to exploitation cannot be reliably automated.
- Technical ImpactpartialSuccessful exploitation gives limited 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
- 0.15% probability of exploitation activity in the next 30 days.
- EPSS percentile
- Ranks above 4.4% of scored records. A rank, not a probability.
- NVD base score
- 4.0 (CVSS v4.0), scored by the NVD independently of the CNA.
- NVD CVSS vector

- NVD analysis status
- Analyzed. NVD last modified this record on 2026-07-07.
- Red Hat severity
- No Red Hat rating. Red Hat rates the CVEs that affect its products.
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.

To fully remediate this vulnerability, customers must ensure their Content Update is at version 2120 or higher. This update provides the necessary protection across all supported versions of Cortex XDR.
While the Content Update provides the primary fix, the following software releases include complementary architectural enhancements to further harden the environment:
* Cortex XDR 9.1.0 (or later)
* Cortex XDR 9.0.1 (or later)
* Cortex XDR 8.9.1 (or later)
* Cortex XDR 8.7.101-CE (or later)
Note for 8.3-CE and 7.9-CE: These versions are fully protected by applying Content Update 2120. No additional software upgrade is required for these versions to mitigate this specific vulnerability.
