# CVE-2020-29574: CyberoamOS (CROS) SQL Injection Vulnerability

**Signal:** Exploited: patch now if you run it. CISA has confirmed exploitation in the wild. (Computed from CISA KEV, EPSS and CVSS; not an editorial verdict.)

## Should you act?

- Yes, if you run Sophos CyberoamOS. CISA added this CVE to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on 2025-02-06, which means there is reliable evidence of exploitation in the wild. US federal agencies must remediate by 2025-02-27 ; treat that as the outer limit, not the target. CISA also lists it as known to be used in ransomware campaigns .
- EPSS 4.7% , percentile 92: FIRST’s model estimates a 4.7% chance of exploitation activity in the next 30 days, higher than 92% 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.
