CVE-2023-20702
Status: ModifiedHigh (7.5)—
In 5G NRLC, there is a possible invalid memory access due to lack of error handling. This could lead to remote denial of service, if UE received invalid 1-byte rlc sdu, with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation. Patch ID: MOLY00921261; Issue ID: MOLY01128895.
CVSS
- Version: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/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: 1.08%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 64
- Score date: 10/6/2026
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).
