Anti-Virus vulnerabilitiesRanked by how likely they are to be used.
Anti-Virus is made by Sophos. We track 12 published vulnerabilities listed under that exact name, across 48 versions. None of them is on the list of flaws known to be exploited today. Sophos lists newer releases under their own names, such as Anti-Virus for Sophos Central, so check those pages too.
We keep watching the known-exploited list.
Is Anti-Virus listed under other names? Yes.
Sophos also lists Anti-Virus under more specific names, such as Anti-Virus for Sophos Central and Anti-Virus for Sophos Home. Flaws listed only under those names are counted on their own pages, not here. If you run one of these, open its page for its own exploited flaws.
