CVE-2018-5533
Status: ModifiedHigh (7.5)—
Under certain conditions on F5 BIG-IP 13.0.0, 12.1.0-12.1.2, 11.6.0-11.6.3.1, or 11.5.0-11.5.6, TMM may core while processing SSL forward proxy traffic.
CVSS
- Version: 3.0
- Vector: CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
- Base score: 7.5
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 1.76%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 77
- Score date: 10/7/2026
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).
