Status: ModifiedCritical (9.8)—
Avaya Fabric Connect Virtual Services Platform (VSP) Operating System Software (VOSS) before 4.2.3.0 and 5.x before 5.0.1.0 does not properly handle VLAN and I-SIS indexes, which allows remote attackers to obtain unauthorized access via crafted Ethernet frames.
CVSS
- Version: 3.0
- Vector: CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
- Base score: 9.8
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 4.44%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 91
- Score date: 10/2/2026
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).
