Authentication Bypass by Assumed-Immutable Data vulnerability in Apache HugeGraph-Server.
CVSS 9.8 Critical EPSS 72.8% · p99
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.
- 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 72.8%, percentile 99: FIRST’s model estimates a 72.8% chance of exploitation activity in the next 30 days, higher than 99% 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
org.apache.hugegraph:hugegraph-server(Maven) >= 1.0.0, < 1.5.0, fixed in 1.5.0. Check your lockfile, including transitive dependencies.
