CISA KEV — actively exploited
- Added to catalog: 5/23/2022
- Remediation due date: 6/13/2022
- Known ransomware use: Unknown
💥 Public exploits
Exploit code or detection templates are publicly available. This is not the same as confirmed active exploitation (KEV), but it raises the risk: patch with priority.
