CVSS

Versión: 3.1
Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N
Puntuación base: 7.5

Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)

Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 0.38%
Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 30
Fecha de la puntuación: 6/10/2026

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, de FIRST) estima la probabilidad de que una vulnerabilidad sea explotada en 30 días. Complementa a CVSS (impacto) y a CISA KEV (explotación confirmada).

🎯 Técnicas ATT&CK

Cómo se explota esta vulnerabilidad y qué consigue el atacante, en el lenguaje de MITRE ATT&CK.

ExplotaciónT1190 Exploit Public-Facing Applicationinitial access45 %
Impacto principalT1552.007 Container APIcredential access75 %

CWE-208 (timing attack) en función de validación de contraseña remota (AV:N) permite extraer credenciales mediante análisis de tiempos de respuesta, aunque T1190 es débil para un ataque de timing puro contra una librería de validación.

Inferido por nuestro agente de análisis a partir de la descripción oficial, el vector CVSS y la CWE, y comprobado por un supervisor. Puede contener errores.
