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 81.5%, percentile 99.6: FIRST’s model estimates a 81.5% chance of exploitation activity in the next 30 days, higher than 99.6% 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.
- Editorial verdict: Act now. MOVEit Transfer: SFTP Authentication Bypass (CVE-2024-5806) — If you run MOVEit Transfer with SFTP exposed and are not on a fixed build, treat it as urgent: exploit details went public on disclosure day and attempts followed within hours.
