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 Citrix Session Recording. CISA added this CVE to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on 2025-08-25, which means there is reliable evidence of exploitation in the wild. US federal agencies must remediate by 2025-09-15; treat that as the outer limit, not the target.
- EPSS 3.5%, percentile 89: FIRST’s model estimates a 3.5% chance of exploitation activity in the next 30 days, higher than 89% of all scored CVEs (elevated). EPSS is a probability, not a verdict.
- Needs an account (low (any account)). Exposure depends on who can log in.
