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-2026-235300.45% 30-day exploitation probability — currently an unlikely target, but scores change as exploit code circulates. Riskier than 38% of all EPSS-scored CVEs.
• Low exploitation riskCVE-2026-235310.45% 30-day exploitation probability — currently an unlikely target, but scores change as exploit code circulates. Riskier than 38% of all EPSS-scored CVEs.
• Low exploitation riskCVE-2026-235320.45% 30-day exploitation probability — currently an unlikely target, but scores change as exploit code circulates. Riskier than 38% of all EPSS-scored CVEs.
• Low exploitation riskCVE-2026-235330.45% 30-day exploitation probability — currently an unlikely target, but scores change as exploit code circulates. Riskier than 38% of all EPSS-scored CVEs.
• Low exploitation riskCVE-2026-235340.45% 30-day exploitation probability — currently an unlikely target, but scores change as exploit code circulates. Riskier than 38% of all EPSS-scored CVEs.
• Low exploitation riskCVE-2026-237320.50% 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-2026-238830.41% 30-day exploitation probability — currently an unlikely target, but scores change as exploit code circulates. Riskier than 34% of all EPSS-scored CVEs.
