EPSS Score20.4%

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) estimates a 20.4% chance this CVE is exploited in the wild within the next 30 days — higher than 97% of all CVEs. It complements CVSS: a high EPSS on a mid-severity CVE can still be urgent.

Adobe Flash Player has a vulnerability in the way it handles a dereferenced memory pointer which could lead to code execution.
