EPSS Score82.5%

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) estimates a 82.5% chance this CVE is exploited in the wild within the next 30 days — higher than 100% of all CVEs. It complements CVSS: a high EPSS on a mid-severity CVE can still be urgent.

Adobe Flash Player contains a memory corruption vulnerability that allows remote attackers to execute code or cause denial-of-service (DoS).
