Threat Intelligence
The probability is the direct output of the EPSS model, and conveys an overall sense of the threat of exploitation in the wild. The percentile measures the EPSS probability relative to all known EPSS scores. Note: This data is updated daily, relying on the latest available EPSS model version. Check out the EPSS documentation for more details.

Upgrade openssl to version 3.4.8, 3.5.9, 3.6.5, 4.0.3 or higher.
Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Timing Attack in the ARM64 and RISC-V optimized SM2 scalar multiplication, which selects conditional branches and table lookups by secret scalar bits. An attacker can learn the long term private key or a per signature nonce by measuring execution time or observing cache access patterns. This is confined to SM2 on those two architectures, and cache observation requires the attacker to run code on the same host.
