Summary iPlain-English security verdict for FreeBSD, generated from its current health score, actively-exploited vulnerabilities, and latest supported version.
FreeBSD currently scores 0/100 — critical, with active exploitation. 1 of its known vulnerability is being actively exploited in the wild (CISA KEV), including CVE-2026-106931. Upgrade immediately and review your exposure to the actively-exploited CVEs below.
Disclosure trend iNew CVEs published for FreeBSD each year (NVD). A higher bar means more disclosures that year — more scrutiny, not necessarily less safe.
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.
