Why

  • blockLikely exploited

    ChromaDB Python project has a pre-authentication code injection vulnerability EPSS puts the chance of exploitation in the next 30 days at 15% (higher than 97% of all scored vulnerabilities). That is a forecast, not an observation, so it raises this finding rather than blocking it.
