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-2021-44540.57% 30-day exploitation probability — currently an unlikely target, but scores change as exploit code circulates. Riskier than 45% of all EPSS-scored CVEs.
- Low exploitation riskCVE-2022-497380.19% 30-day exploitation probability — currently an unlikely target, but scores change as exploit code circulates. Riskier than 9% of all EPSS-scored CVEs.
- Low exploitation riskCVE-2022-497390.20% 30-day exploitation probability — currently an unlikely target, but scores change as exploit code circulates. Riskier than 10% of all EPSS-scored CVEs.
- Low exploitation riskCVE-2022-497400.19% 30-day exploitation probability — currently an unlikely target, but scores change as exploit code circulates. Riskier than 9% of all EPSS-scored CVEs.
- Low exploitation riskCVE-2022-497410.19% 30-day exploitation probability — currently an unlikely target, but scores change as exploit code circulates. Riskier than 9% of all EPSS-scored CVEs.
- Low exploitation riskCVE-2022-497420.12% 30-day exploitation probability — currently an unlikely target, but scores change as exploit code circulates. Riskier than 2% of all EPSS-scored CVEs.
