Which product do you run? Check your version

A deterministic range check against the ranges this record publishes. It tells you where a version sits in the record, not whether your deployment is exploitable. No account needed.

Record your call

Keep your verdict, your reason and the evidence together. The record takes its date when you save it.

Patch by…

Or open an investigation: an incident or a near miss on this CVE, kept with its evidence where anyone in your organisation can find it.

Choose your verdict, then sign in or use an email link. Your first 100 records are free. Evidence is frozen when the record is created.

Private to your organization unless you share it. Put the proof link in your ticket so a reviewer can inspect the basis for your call. See how decision records work.

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.

Unaudited dollar value2 of 3 inputs carry a receipt
Exposure$8,000over the next 30 days, if this record is yours

Basisassumeda published average, not your estate

$8,000 = $4.99M incident cost x 0.24048551839932833 exposure x 0.00667 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.

Fixed with these, by one advisory

VMSA-2023-0023

Of the 2 records in this advisory, this is the only one that does not hold a CISA KEV listing. That is a fact about what the catalogue records, not a finding about exposure.

Listed because one advisory covers them, not because they are the same defect. Each record's own state is on its own page.
