Threat Intelligence
The probability is the direct output of the EPSS model, and conveys an overall sense of the threat of exploitation in the wild. The percentile measures the EPSS probability relative to all known EPSS scores. Note: This data is updated daily, relying on the latest available EPSS model version.

CVSS Base Scores
Red Hat
- Attack Vector (AV)
The vulnerable component is not bound to the network stack and the attacker's path is via read/write/execute capabilities.
Local - Attack Complexity (AC)
Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success when attacking the vulnerable component.
Low - Privileges Required (PR)
The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files of the vulnerable system to carry out an attack.
None - User Interaction (UI)
The vulnerable system can be exploited without interaction from any user.
None
- Scope (S)
An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
Unchanged
- Confidentiality (C)
There is no loss of confidentiality within the impacted component.
None - Integrity (I)
There is no loss of integrity within the impacted component.
None - Availability (A)
Performance is reduced or there are interruptions in resource availability. Even if repeated exploitation of the vulnerability is possible, the attacker does not have the ability to completely deny service to legitimate users. The resources in the impacted component are either partially available all of the time, or fully available only some of the time, but overall there is no direct, serious consequence to the impacted component.
