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-2023-537330.14% 30-day exploitation probability — currently an unlikely target, but scores change as exploit code circulates. Riskier than 4% of all EPSS-scored CVEs.
- Low exploitation riskCVE-2025-400180.14% 30-day exploitation probability — currently an unlikely target, but scores change as exploit code circulates. Riskier than 4% of all EPSS-scored CVEs.
- Low exploitation riskCVE-2025-400190.27% 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-2025-400200.20% 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-2025-400210.19% 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-2025-400220.22% 30-day exploitation probability — currently an unlikely target, but scores change as exploit code circulates. Riskier than 12% of all EPSS-scored CVEs.
- Low exploitation riskCVE-2025-400230.17% 30-day exploitation probability — currently an unlikely target, but scores change as exploit code circulates. Riskier than 7% of all EPSS-scored CVEs.
