CVE-2024-21305
Status: ModifiedMedium (4.4)—💥 PoC
Hypervisor-Protected Code Integrity (HVCI) Security Feature Bypass Vulnerability
CVSS
- Version: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N
- Base score: 4.4
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 1.51%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 74
- 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.
