 "notes": "GHSA-rvqx-wpfh-mfx7, CVSS 9.3 Critical, credited to chximn-dt. Reported publicly in April 2025 and added to CISA KEV in May 2025 after mass scanning; Trend Micro later attributed a Flodrix botnet campaign to it. Those two exploitation claims could not be re-verified for this record - the CISA KEV catalog entry is not quoted here - so impact_realized true rests on widely reported mass exploitation rather than on a source cited here. Treat the KEV/Flodrix attribution as a lead to confirm. Distinct from the later CVE-2026-48519 Shareable Playground RCE and CVE-2025-57760 post-RCE superuser escalation.",
