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.
- Moderate exploitation riskCVE-2026-413161.1% 30-day exploitation probability. Patch within normal cadence, watch for KEV listing. Riskier than 64% of all EPSS-scored CVEs.
- Low exploitation riskCVE-2026-422450.41% 30-day exploitation probability — currently an unlikely target, but scores change as exploit code circulates. Riskier than 34% of all EPSS-scored CVEs.
- Low exploitation riskCVE-2026-422460.31% 30-day exploitation probability — currently an unlikely target, but scores change as exploit code circulates. Riskier than 24% of all EPSS-scored CVEs.
- Low exploitation riskCVE-2026-422560.30% 30-day exploitation probability — currently an unlikely target, but scores change as exploit code circulates. Riskier than 22% of all EPSS-scored CVEs.
- Low exploitation riskCVE-2026-422570.43% 30-day exploitation probability — currently an unlikely target, but scores change as exploit code circulates. Riskier than 36% of all EPSS-scored CVEs.
- Low exploitation riskCVE-2026-422580.78% 30-day exploitation probability — currently an unlikely target, but scores change as exploit code circulates. Riskier than 54% of all EPSS-scored CVEs.
- Low exploitation riskCVE-2026-472400.49% 30-day exploitation probability — currently an unlikely target, but scores change as exploit code circulates. Riskier than 41% of all EPSS-scored CVEs.
- Low exploitation riskCVE-2026-472410.24% 30-day exploitation probability — currently an unlikely target, but scores change as exploit code circulates. Riskier than 15% of all EPSS-scored CVEs.
- Low exploitation riskCVE-2026-472420.13% 30-day exploitation probability — currently an unlikely target, but scores change as exploit code circulates. Riskier than 3% of all EPSS-scored CVEs.
