CVE-2023-1258
Status: ModifiedMedium (5.3)—💥 Exploit
Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor vulnerability in ABB Flow-X firmware on Flow-X embedded hardware (web service modules) allows Footprinting.This issue affects Flow-X: before 4.0.
CVSS
- Version: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N
- Base score: 5.3
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 3.88%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 90
- 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).
💥 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.
