- Puntuación base: 8.7
Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)
- Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 0.17%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 6
- 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.
- Explotación
T1190Exploit Public-Facing Applicationinitial access85 % - Impacto principal

T1040Network Sniffingcredential access · discovery60 %
Red sin autenticación (AV:N, PR:N, UI:N) en biblioteca criptográfica: T1190. VI:H indica corrupción/manipulación de integridad en datos OpenPGP (T1565.001). La omisión de validación de etiquetas finales permite intercepción de comunicaciones (T1040).
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.
