# CVE-2023-29360: Microsoft Streaming Service Untrusted Pointer Dereference 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 Microsoft Streaming Service. CISA added this CVE to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on 2024-02-29, which means there is reliable evidence of exploitation in the wild. US federal agencies must remediate by 2024-03-21 ; treat that as the outer limit, not the target.
- EPSS 21.6% , percentile 98: FIRST’s model estimates a 21.6% chance of exploitation activity in the next 30 days, higher than 98% of all scored CVEs (very high). EPSS is a probability, not a verdict.
- Needs local access needed. Lower urgency for most teams unless an attacker could already run code on the machine.
