CVE-2023-20838
Status: ModifiedMedium (4)—
In imgsys, there is a possible out of bounds read due to a race condition. This could lead to local information disclosure with System execution privileges needed. User interaction is needed for exploitation. Patch ID: ALPS07326455; Issue ID: ALPS07326418.
CVSS
- Version: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:H/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N
- Base score: 4
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.09%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 0
- 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).
