Description

CVE-2024-40873 is a vulnerability with a CVSS score of 0, indicating a low severity level. However, SOCRadar's unique 'SOCRadar Vulnerability Risk Score' (SVRS) assigns it a score of 30, highlighting the potential for exploitation. This discrepancy stems from SVRS's integration of various 'Vulnerability Intelligence' elements, including Social Media, News, Code Repositories, Dark/Deep Web data, and associations with Threat Actors and malware.
