Should you act?
Exploited: patch now if you run it
CISA has confirmed exploitation in the wild. This signal is computed from CISA KEV, EPSS and CVSS data; it is not an editorial verdict.
- Yes, if you run Google Chromium V8. CISA added this CVE to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on 2024-01-17, which means there is reliable evidence of exploitation in the wild. US federal agencies must remediate by 2024-02-07; treat that as the outer limit, not the target.
- EPSS 3.8%, percentile 90: FIRST’s model estimates a 3.8% chance of exploitation activity in the next 30 days, higher than 90% of all scored CVEs (elevated). EPSS is a probability, not a verdict.
- Needs a user to click or open something. Phishing makes that realistic, but it is not wormable.
