CVSS
- Version: 2.0
- Vector: AV:L/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
- Base score: 6.9
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.34%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 25
- Score date: 10/9/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
