Should you act?
Critical and remotely reachable
No known exploitation yet, but it is network-reachable without credentials. 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 0.4%, percentile 33: FIRST’s model estimates a 0.4% chance of exploitation activity in the next 30 days, higher than 33% of all scored CVEs (low). 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: Patch this week. HPE Aruba AOS-8/AOS-10: Eight CVSS 10 Unauth RCE Flaws — Schedule AOS-8 and AOS-10 upgrades this week and wall off management interfaces and PAPI now; no attacks are known, but eight unauthenticated CVSS 10 bugs in enterprise Wi-Fi gear will not stay quiet for long.
