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-2026-471310.62% 30-day exploitation probability — currently an unlikely target, but scores change as exploit code circulates. Riskier than 46% of all EPSS-scored CVEs.
• Low exploitation riskCVE-2026-471350.27% 30-day exploitation probability — currently an unlikely target, but scores change as exploit code circulates. Riskier than 19% of all EPSS-scored CVEs.
• Low exploitation riskCVE-2026-471370.38% 30-day exploitation probability — currently an unlikely target, but scores change as exploit code circulates. Riskier than 31% of all EPSS-scored CVEs.
• Low exploitation riskCVE-2026-471390.28% 30-day exploitation probability — currently an unlikely target, but scores change as exploit code circulates. Riskier than 20% of all EPSS-scored CVEs.
• Low exploitation riskCVE-2026-471400.82% 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-2026-471410.31% 30-day exploitation probability — currently an unlikely target, but scores change as exploit code circulates. Riskier than 23% of all EPSS-scored CVEs.
• Low exploitation riskCVE-2026-472080.76% 30-day exploitation probability — currently an unlikely target, but scores change as exploit code circulates. Riskier than 52% of all EPSS-scored CVEs.
• Low exploitation riskCVE-2026-472090.29% 30-day exploitation probability — currently an unlikely target, but scores change as exploit code circulates. Riskier than 21% of all EPSS-scored CVEs.
• Moderate exploitation riskCVE-2026-472101.8% 30-day exploitation probability. Patch within normal cadence, watch for KEV listing. Riskier than 76% of all EPSS-scored CVEs.
