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-2025-265940.36% 30-day exploitation probability — currently an unlikely target, but scores change as exploit code circulates. Riskier than 28% of all scored CVEs.
• Low exploitation riskCVE-2025-265950.40% 30-day exploitation probability — currently an unlikely target, but scores change as exploit code circulates. Riskier than 32% of all scored CVEs.
• Low exploitation riskCVE-2025-265960.40% 30-day exploitation probability — currently an unlikely target, but scores change as exploit code circulates. Riskier than 32% of all scored CVEs.
• Low exploitation riskCVE-2025-265970.48% 30-day exploitation probability — currently an unlikely target, but scores change as exploit code circulates. Riskier than 38% of all scored CVEs.
