Exploitation status

- US federal civilian agencies are required to remediate it by 2024-02-12. That deadline does not bind private companies, but it is a reasonable benchmark for how urgently CISA views it.
Required action
Apply mitigations per vendor instructions or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable.
