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-2025-265940.39% 30-day exploitation probability — currently an unlikely target, but scores change as exploit code circulates. Riskier than 31% of all EPSS-scored CVEs.
• Low exploitation riskCVE-2025-265950.43% 30-day exploitation probability — currently an unlikely target, but scores change as exploit code circulates. Riskier than 36% of all EPSS-scored CVEs.
• Low exploitation riskCVE-2025-265960.43% 30-day exploitation probability — currently an unlikely target, but scores change as exploit code circulates. Riskier than 36% of all EPSS-scored CVEs.
• Low exploitation riskCVE-2025-265970.43% 30-day exploitation probability — currently an unlikely target, but scores change as exploit code circulates. Riskier than 36% of all EPSS-scored CVEs.
• Low exploitation riskCVE-2025-265980.40% 30-day exploitation probability — currently an unlikely target, but scores change as exploit code circulates. Riskier than 33% of all EPSS-scored CVEs.
• Low exploitation riskCVE-2025-265990.40% 30-day exploitation probability — currently an unlikely target, but scores change as exploit code circulates. Riskier than 33% of all EPSS-scored CVEs.
• Low exploitation riskCVE-2025-266000.39% 30-day exploitation probability — currently an unlikely target, but scores change as exploit code circulates. Riskier than 31% of all EPSS-scored CVEs.
• Low exploitation riskCVE-2025-266010.39% 30-day exploitation probability — currently an unlikely target, but scores change as exploit code circulates. Riskier than 31% of all EPSS-scored CVEs.
