- EPSS probability
- 0.29% probability of exploitation activity in the next 30 days.
- EPSS percentile
- Equal to or higher than the score of 21.7% of scored records. A rank, not a probability.
- NVD base score
- 5.9 (CVSS v3.x), scored by the NVD independently of the CNA.
- NVD CVSS vector
- CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
- NVD analysis status
- Analyzed. NVD last modified this record on 2026-09-16.
