EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) estimates a 98.6% 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.

A use-after-free vulnerability exists within the ActionScript 3 ByteArray class in Adobe Flash Player that allows an attacker to perform remote code execution.
