“—” beside the score: it is equal to NVD's CVSS score.

Score elevated to 9.1 because this CVE is listed on the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog (added 2022-03-25), indicating real-world exploitation has been confirmed by US federal agencies. NVD baseline CVSS 9.1 retained for reference. Confidence: HIGH.

EG Risk 96/100

EG Risk is EchelonGraph's 0–100 priority score. It fuses impact severity (EG Severity, the CVSS base score, never the KEV-floored or EPSS-lifted EG Score) with real-world exploitation and automatability, under weights EchelonGraph set by hand, so you can rank equal-severity CVEs and fix the most dangerous first. Higher = act sooner.

Impact severity (EG Severity): CVSS 9.1 of 10. Never the KEV-floored or EPSS-lifted EG Score.

Action: No fix has been recorded since the CVE record was published in 2015. Check the vendor's advisory for a fixed release; until one is applied, restrict network exposure of the affected system or apply the vendor's mitigation sooner than your normal schedule at low mission impact and as soon as possible at medium or high.

SSVC (CISA's decision table, applied by EchelonGraph)Attend at low mission impact; Act at medium or high.

No fix has been recorded since the CVE record was published in 2015.

Mission impact is CISA's Mission & Well-being decision point, and only you can judge it. CISA's table makes it high when Mission Prevalence is Essential — the vulnerable component "directly provides capabilities that constitute at least one MEF for at least one entity" (MEF: mission essential function) — or when Public Well-Being Impact is Irreversible: "multiple fatalities are likely", the cyber-physical system "is likely lost or destroyed", "extreme or serious externalities" are imposed on other parties, or social systems such as elections or the financial grid "are destabilized and potentially collapse".

Each row is a time one of our pipelines fetched, updated or re-scored this CVE. For example, "NVD update" means NVD published or revised its analysis for this CVE; "MITRE cvelistV5" means we ingested or refreshed it from the CNA feed. An arrow marks a change the record states ("CVSS v3 → 9.1"); EPSS and GHSA rows show the values recorded at that time, not what changed (EPSS values are rounded; hover one for the exact figures). Most recent first.

Showing the most recent 100 of 1,111 refreshes on record for this CVE.

A repeat, a row identical to one the same pipeline wrote less than 10 seconds earlier, is not a separate refresh and is not counted. None are among the latest 100 rows. The 1,011 oldest rows on record are not shown and were not checked, so the counts can still include repeats.

Frequently asked(6)

What is CVE-2015-4068?
CVE-2015-4068 is a critical-severity vulnerability; its CVE record was published on May 29, 2015. Directory traversal vulnerability in Arcserve UDP before 5.0 Update 4 allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information or cause a denial of service via a crafted file path to the (1) reportFileServlet or (2) exportServlet servlet.
When was CVE-2015-4068 made public?
CVE-2015-4068 was made public on May 26, 2015: that is the date its CVE record's CNA, MITRE Corporation, gives for when the vulnerability was made public. The CVE record itself was published on May 29, 2015. EchelonGraph's copy of the record carries a last-modified date of April 21, 2026; the record at its source may have been updated since.
Is CVE-2015-4068 actively exploited?
Yes. CISA added CVE-2015-4068 to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on March 25, 2022, affecting Arcserve Unified Data Protection (UDP). KEV listing indicates confirmed exploitation in the wild; this CVE warrants immediate attention. No fix has been recorded since the CVE record was published in 2015. Check the vendor's advisory for a fixed release; until one is applied, restrict network exposure of the affected system or apply the vendor's mitigation.
What is the CVSS score of CVE-2015-4068?
CVE-2015-4068 has a CVSS v3 base score of 9.1 (NVD).
Which products are affected by CVE-2015-4068?
CVE-2015-4068 affects Arcserve Unified Data Protection (UDP).
How do I remediate CVE-2015-4068?
No fix for CVE-2015-4068 has been recorded since its CVE record was published in 2015. Restrict network exposure of the affected system or apply the vendor's mitigation — for example, keep it off the internet or limit it to trusted networks — and check the vendor's advisory for a fix. The CVE record's description, written by its CNA (MITRE Corporation), states the affected versions: "Directory traversal vulnerability in Arcserve UDP before 5.0 Update 4 allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information or cause a denial of service via a crafted file path to the (1) reportFileServlet or (2) expo…" No release containing a fix is confirmed on record.
