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-2026-417030.63% 30-day exploitation probability — currently an unlikely target, but scores change as exploit code circulates. Riskier than 48% of all EPSS-scored CVEs.
Low exploitation riskCVE-2026-417090.40% 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-2026-478760.36% 30-day exploitation probability — currently an unlikely target, but scores change as exploit code circulates. Riskier than 29% of all EPSS-scored CVEs.
Moderate exploitation riskCVE-2026-593097.9% 30-day exploitation probability. Patch within normal cadence, watch for KEV listing. Riskier than 94% of all EPSS-scored CVEs.
Exploitation confirmedCVE-2026-59310Already exploited in the wild (CISA KEV) — the prediction phase is over. Patch now. Riskier than 99% of all EPSS-scored CVEs.
