Insecure deserialization leading to Remote Code Execution was detected in the Orion Platform version 2020.2.5. Authentication is required to exploit this vulnerability.
CVE-2021-35215
Score elevated to 9.0 because EPSS predicts 70% probability of exploitation within the next 30 days (top 0.7% of all CVEs). NVD baseline CVSS 8.9 retained for reference. Confidence: see factors.
- High exploitation likelihood — EPSS 70%
No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.
