Exploitation outlook
EPSS (FIRST.org) estimates each CVE’s probability of exploitation in the next 30 days — here is the CSIRTS.com read on those numbers.
- Low exploitation riskCVE-2026-430780.13% 30-day exploitation probability — currently an unlikely target, but scores change as exploit code circulates. Riskier than 3% of all EPSS-scored CVEs.
- Low exploitation riskCVE-2026-473290.09% 30-day exploitation probability — currently an unlikely target, but scores change as exploit code circulates. Riskier than 1% of all EPSS-scored CVEs.
- Low exploitation riskCVE-2026-473300.09% 30-day exploitation probability — currently an unlikely target, but scores change as exploit code circulates. Riskier than 1% of all EPSS-scored CVEs.
- Exploitation likely imminentCVE-2026-43284EPSS puts this in the most-targeted tier (93.2% 30-day exploitation probability). Prioritize alongside KEV items. Riskier than 99.8% of all EPSS-scored CVEs.
- Exploitation confirmedCVE-2026-31431Already exploited in the wild (CISA KEV) — the prediction phase is over. Patch now. Riskier than 99.9% of all EPSS-scored CVEs.
- Low exploitation riskCVE-2026-430330.14% 30-day exploitation probability — currently an unlikely target, but scores change as exploit code circulates. Riskier than 3% of all EPSS-scored CVEs.
- Low exploitation riskCVE-2026-435030.34% 30-day exploitation probability — currently an unlikely target, but scores change as exploit code circulates. Riskier than 26% of all EPSS-scored CVEs.
- Exploitation likely imminentCVE-2026-43500EPSS puts this in the most-targeted tier (92.9% 30-day exploitation probability). Prioritize alongside KEV items. Riskier than 99.8% of all EPSS-scored CVEs.
- Low exploitation riskCVE-2026-473280.09% 30-day exploitation probability — currently an unlikely target, but scores change as exploit code circulates. Riskier than 1% of all EPSS-scored CVEs.
- Low exploitation riskCVE-2026-315330.39% 30-day exploitation probability — currently an unlikely target, but scores change as exploit code circulates. Riskier than 32% of all EPSS-scored CVEs.
