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.

Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Heap-based Buffer Overflow in the aggregation pipeline process due to insufficient validation of externally sourced BSON data. An attacker can cause memory corruption, potentially resulting in process termination or other unintended behavior by supplying crafted external data. This is only exploitable if compute mode is enabled on a standalone instance at startup.
