Should you act?

High exploit likelihood

EPSS ranks it in the top 5% of all CVEs for likely exploitation in the next 30 days. This signal is computed from CISA KEV, EPSS and CVSS data; it is not an editorial verdict.

  • Not in CISA KEV, but CISA’s SSVC assessment records a public proof-of-concept, so attack code exists.
  • EPSS 34.2%, percentile 98: FIRST’s model estimates a 34.2% 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.
  • 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 torrentpier/torrentpier (Composer (PHP)) <= 2.4.1, no fixed version listed. Check your lockfile, including transitive dependencies.

What it is

Torrentpier version 2.4.1 allows executing arbitrary commands on the server. This is possible because the application is vulnerable to insecure deserialization.
