Should you act?
Critical and remotely reachable
No known exploitation yet, but it is network-reachable without credentials. This signal is computed from CISA KEV, EPSS and CVSS data; it is not an editorial verdict.
- No confirmed exploitation. It is not in CISA’s KEV catalog. That can change quickly after a public write-up; re-check if you are affected.
- EPSS 2.5%, percentile 85: FIRST’s model estimates a 2.5% chance of exploitation activity in the next 30 days, higher than 85% of all scored CVEs (elevated). EPSS is a probability, not a verdict.
- Remotely reachable with no login and no user interaction. If the vulnerable service is exposed to the internet, prioritize it.
- Only applies if your dependency tree includes
zendframework/zendframework1(Composer (PHP)) >= 1.12.0, < 1.12.9, fixed in 1.12.9;zendframework/zend-db(Composer (PHP)) >= 2.0.0, < 2.0.99, fixed in 2.0.99;zendframework/zend-db(Composer (PHP)) >= 2.1.0, < 2.1.99, fixed in 2.1.99;zendframework/zend-db(Composer (PHP)) >= 2.2.0, < 2.2.8, fixed in 2.2.8. Check your lockfile, including transitive dependencies.
