CISA has confirmed this is being exploited in the wild. That is an observation of real attacks, not a prediction.
It is known to have been used in ransomware campaigns.
US federal civilian agencies are required to remediate it by 2021-11-17. That deadline does not bind private companies, but it is a reasonable benchmark for how urgently CISA views it.
A vendor advisory or patch reference has been published.

Apply updates per vendor instructions.

CISA’s wording, unedited.

It is reachable over a network, without needing local access.
For an attacker who can reach it, no special conditions are needed to exploit it.
To exploit it, no account is needed.
Beyond that, no action by a user is required.
