Risk summary
Not in the CISA KEV catalog. EPSS exploit probability 4.7%. CVSS 8.8 (High).
This CVE is among the lower half of tracked Microsoft CVEs by EPSS exploit probability.
This flaw lets an attacker bypass a Kerberos security feature, which matters because Kerberos underpins authentication trust across an Active Directory domain. Despite the High 8.8 severity, its EPSS score of only 4 percent is one of the lowest in this list, suggesting predictive models see little near term exploitation pressure.
Do this: Schedule this with the regular patch cycle rather than treating it as an emergency, given the low EPSS score relative to severity.
