Fedora ↗
Summary iPlain-English security verdict for Fedora, generated from its current health score, actively-exploited vulnerabilities, and latest supported version.
Fedora currently scores 100/100 — healthy. 14 actively-exploited vulnerabilities (CISA KEV) affect older releases (e.g. CVE-2014-0160) — staying on the latest supported version keeps you clear of them. The latest supported release is 44. It's on the latest patch with no significant known issues — keep it current.
Disclosure trend iNew CVEs published for Fedora each year (NVD). A higher bar means more disclosures that year — more scrutiny, not necessarily less safe.
2 of its known vulnerabilities are linked to ransomware campaigns (CISA KEV).
Patch priority — what to act on iThe issues to fix first — actively exploited (CISA KEV) first, then by exploitation probability (EPSS), then severity. Each row's "→ fixed in" is the earliest version that patches it; "see advisory" means no fixed version is published.
Most urgent first — actively exploited, then likeliest to be exploited.
