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.
- AutomatableyesAn attacker can reliably automate reconnaissance through exploitation, so this scales.
- 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
- Not scored by EPSS
- EPSS percentile
- Not scored by EPSS
- NVD base score
- 7.5 (CVSS v3.x), scored by the NVD independently of the CNA.
