Exploit likelihood over the last 7 days: 1.2%, 1.2%, 1.2%, 1.2%, 1.2%, 1.2%, 1.2%.

### Timeline

- 24 April 2018: Published
- 4 June 2018: Record last updated

### How Precursor Intelligence ranks it

CVE-2017-17254 scores **47 out of 100 (Medium)**, with the action "Plan remediation".

Every published flaw gets a risk score from 0 to 100, kept up to date as the evidence changes. Four things go into the score, from the one that counts most to the ones that count less:

- Evidence it is being exploited: biggest factor
- How severe it is: strong factor
- How widely exposed it is: smaller factor
- Threat activity around it: smaller factor

85 and above is Critical. Anything confirmed as exploited is always marked for an emergency patch, whatever its score. When this flaw matches software you track, it lands in your list with its score and the reasons behind it.
