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
0.11% probability of exploitation activity in the next 30 days.
EPSS percentile
Equal to or higher than the score of 1.4% of scored records. A rank, not a probability.
NVD base score
5.4 (CVSS v4.0), scored by the NVD independently of the CNA.
NVD CVSS vector
