CVSS 7.5 High EPSS 0.5% · p38
Should you act?
Normal patch cycle
No exploitation signal; fix it in your next routine update if you are affected. 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 and CISA’s SSVC assessment records no known exploitation. That can change quickly after a public write-up; re-check if you are affected.
- EPSS 0.5%, percentile 38: FIRST’s model estimates a 0.5% chance of exploitation activity in the next 30 days, higher than 38% of all scored CVEs (low). EPSS is a probability, not a verdict.
- Only applies if your dependency tree includes
ait-core(PyPI) <= 2.5.2, no fixed version listed. Check your lockfile, including transitive dependencies.
