CISA KEV is observed exploitation evidence. FIRST EPSS is a dated prediction of exploitation in the next 30 days. Missing scores are unknown. This collector requests predictions only for explicit CVE aliases in the public NuGet archive; Microsoft release views retain their existing prediction scope.
Multiple Atlassian products (Bitbucket Data Center ,Confluence Data Center, Jira Service Management Data Center, Jira Software Data Center, Bamboo Data Center, Crowd Data Center, Crucible and Fisheye) contain a files or directories accessible to external parties vulnerability which could allow an unauthenticated attacker to access specific files within the web application root directory in affected versions.
Risk history is separate from CNA/OSV content history. Daily score drift is retained but only an upward crossing of 10% triggers the prediction change event.
Each citation identifies one complete source statement. Source modification dates and the time this installation observed them are distinct. Latest history includes records historically associated by source identifiers; a removed alias is not a current equivalence claim. Exact citations show that source record's own earlier observations. Failed reads and unchanged polls do not rewrite history.
