How do I mitigate CVE-2024-20953 if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

Do not deserialise data from untrusted sources: where the format allows it, restrict deserialisation to an explicit allowlist of expected types, and prefer a data-only format (JSON, Protobuf) over one that can reconstruct arbitrary objects until you can upgrade. Alongside that, restrict the management interface to trusted networks and apply the vendor's recommended configuration mitigations.

Is CVE-2024-20953 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for CVE-2024-20953 yet. This does not mean the vulnerability cannot be exploited — absence of public exploits does not imply safety. Apply the recommended fix and use O3 Security to monitor your exposure.

What is the EPSS score for CVE-2024-20953?

CVE-2024-20953 has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 3.9%, placing it in the 90th percentile of all CVEs. EPSS is maintained by FIRST.org and estimates the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited in the wild within the next 30 days. This score indicates relatively lower exploitation probability, though the CVSS severity should still guide your patching priority.

Is CVE-2024-20953 in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog?

Yes. CVE-2024-20953 (Oracle Agile Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) Deserialization Vulnerability) was added to CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog on 2025-02-24. CISA required all US federal civilian agencies to remediate this vulnerability by 2025-03-17. The required action was: Apply mitigations per vendor instructions or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable. Being listed in the KEV catalog is the strongest possible confirmation of active exploitation — treat this as a critical priority.
