This CVE is among the lower half of tracked Microsoft CVEs by EPSS exploit probability.
CVE-2024-43485 is a .NET and Visual Studio denial-of-service flaw, and its EPSS is only 3 percent, much lower than the near-identical CVE-2024-43484 despite both being High 8.1 and hitting PowerShell 7.2/7.4 and Visual Studio 2022 17.6.
