EPSS Score4.8%

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) estimates a 4.8% chance this CVE is exploited in the wild within the next 30 days — higher than 92% of all CVEs. It complements CVSS: a high EPSS on a mid-severity CVE can still be urgent.

Certain APIs within BigInsights can take invalid input that might allow attackers unauthorized access to read, write, modify, or delete data.
