The EPSS probability is below 1\u202f%, indicating that known exploits are rare, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Nevertheless, the impact is potentially widespread in multi\u2011tenant environments and requires no special privileges beyond the ability to send HTTP requests to the proxy.
