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-2024-582390.34% 30-day exploitation probability — currently an unlikely target, but scores change as exploit code circulates. Riskier than 26% of all EPSS-scored CVEs.
- Low exploitation riskCVE-2025-386160.20% 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-2025-386170.33% 30-day exploitation probability — currently an unlikely target, but scores change as exploit code circulates. Riskier than 25% of all EPSS-scored CVEs.
- Low exploitation riskCVE-2025-386180.16% 30-day exploitation probability — currently an unlikely target, but scores change as exploit code circulates. Riskier than 6% of all EPSS-scored CVEs.
- Low exploitation riskCVE-2025-386190.17% 30-day exploitation probability — currently an unlikely target, but scores change as exploit code circulates. Riskier than 6% of all EPSS-scored CVEs.
