CVSS
- Versión: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
- Puntuación base: 7.5
Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)
- Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 0.32%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 22
- 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 access90 % - Impacto principal
T1499.004Application or System Exploitationimpact85 %
Vector CVSS AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N indica explotación remota sin privilegios (T1190). El bucle infinito en el parser de certificados X.509 causa DoS por consumo de CPU (T1499.004), típico de fallos de lógica en procesamiento de datos (CWE-835).
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.
