$11,600 = $4.99M incident cost x 1 exposure x 0.00232 likelihood
udv@v1 · unaudited · wrong for you until you say what you run
$4.99M is the cost of a breach that happened, from IBM Cost of a Data Breach Report 2026, global average. It is not the value of any asset of yours. That average already covers breaches of every severity, so scaling it by exposure understates a partial-impact record. That is an assumption, not a measurement. Your own asset value goes in the decision record.
Hindsight · the state
Foresight · where to check next
This record is one instance of CWE-121, stack-based buffer overflow. The index holds 3820 prior instances of this class, 19 KEV-listed. The nearest of its KEV-listed records are drawn beside this. taxonomy@v1

Both shown, dated. We don't pick winners. disagreement-rules@v1

Exploit Status & Known PoCs a ladder, not a score
Current rung: Nothing observed in held sources.

- RUNG 3Exploited in the wild · CISA KEV listed
- RUNG 4Ransomware campaign use known
A rung lights from a row in the index, never from an assessment. "Held sources" is the true scope of the claim: this index reads the CVE record, NVD, CISA KEV, FIRST's EPSS and public proof-of-concept repositories, and it does not observe attacks.
Attack path
What it is stated by the CNA
NCC Group has found a flaw during the annual internal penetration test ordered by Axis Communications. The protection for device tampering (commonly known as Secure Boot) contains a flaw which provides an opportunity for a sophisticated attack to bypass this protection. Axis has released patched AXIS OS versions for the highlighted flaw. Please refer to the Axis security advisory for more information and solution. receipt

11 observations held. A highlighted step crossed a promotion threshold. A step marked with a scoring model moved because the instrument was replaced, not because the vulnerability changed. receipt
The full biography
The record had been public for 2 years, 7 months when this index was last written.
The pattern, elsewhere
This record is one instance of CWE-121, stack-based buffer overflow. The index holds 3820 prior instances of this class, 19 KEV-listed. The nearest of its KEV-listed records are drawn beside this. [email protected]
"Matches n of m" counts the attributes the two records can both be compared on: the CVSS metrics they share a version of, any weakness class beyond this one, and the vendor. fit-rules@v1
3820 records in this class held. The six above are drawn from the ones CISA has listed as exploited, ranked by how much of the record matches this one. That is why every one of them is KEV-listed: the pool is, so the colour on those spokes says nothing the pool has not already said.
No curated product neighbourhood is held for this product, so the records above are the nearest this index can name. The neighbourhood table covers a small set of products and is extended by hand.

Of the 2 records in this family, this is the only one that does not hold a stated fix version. That is a fact about what the catalogue records, not a finding about exposure.
Grouped by shared product and weakness, not by shared vulnerability. Each record's own state is on its own page.
Family membership: held values
This record is one of a group, and the group's page describes all of them. This page is kept and dated, and the defect family's own page is the one we offer for indexing: the whole group.
