Is GHSA-29rc-vq7f-x335 actively exploited in the wild?

Yes. There are 10 known exploit references for GHSA-29rc-vq7f-x335, including 1 documented proof-of-concept exploit on Exploit-DB and 6 in-the-wild exploitations observed on GitHub and other sources. Treat this as actively exploitable and prioritize patching immediately. All exploit code should only be run in an isolated sandbox environment for research or authorized testing — never against production systems without explicit written authorization.

What is the EPSS score for GHSA-29rc-vq7f-x335?

GHSA-29rc-vq7f-x335 has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 94.3%, placing it in the 100th 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. A score above 50% indicates significantly elevated exploitation risk — immediate patching is strongly recommended.

Is GHSA-29rc-vq7f-x335 in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog?

Yes. GHSA-29rc-vq7f-x335 (Apache HugeGraph-Server Improper Access Control Vulnerability) was added to CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog on 2024-09-18. CISA required all US federal civilian agencies to remediate this vulnerability by 2024-10-09. 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.

What type of vulnerability is GHSA-29rc-vq7f-x335?

GHSA-29rc-vq7f-x335 is classified as CWE-284 (CWE-284). This weakness type describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation.

Is there exploit tooling available for GHSA-29rc-vq7f-x335?

A Nuclei detection template exists for GHSA-29rc-vq7f-x335, meaning automated scanners can fingerprint it. Public exploit tooling significantly increases real-world risk — prioritize patching and ensure detection coverage. Exploit tooling should only ever be used in isolated, authorized testing environments.

When was GHSA-29rc-vq7f-x335 published, and has it been updated?

GHSA-29rc-vq7f-x335 was published on April 22, 2024 and was last updated on October 22, 2025. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.
