Auto-added after CISA flagged Spark as actively exploited (KEV catalog). Version and lifecycle mapping is pending review, so this is assessed at the product level and is never reported as a confident "healthy".
Summary iPlain-English security verdict for Spark, generated from its current health score, actively-exploited vulnerabilities, and latest supported version.
Spark currently scores 100/100 — healthy. 1 actively-exploited vulnerability (CISA KEV) affects older releases (e.g. CVE-2022-33891) — staying on the latest supported version keeps you clear of it. The latest supported release is 4.2.1. It's on the latest patch with no significant known issues — keep it current.
Disclosure trend iNew CVEs published for Spark 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.

What should I do about Spark now?
Upgrade Spark to the latest supported release (4.2.1) or later, which clears the actively-exploited issues affecting older versions, then confirm against Apache's official advisory.
Why is Spark listed on IsItPatched?
Spark was added automatically because CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog flagged it as actively exploited in the wild. IsItPatched tracks its known CVEs, severity (CVSS), exploitation probability (EPSS) and KEV status from public data; its version and lifecycle mapping is verified over time.
Has Spark been actively exploited?
Yes. CISA added Spark to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog after confirming exploitation in the wild — the triggering vulnerability is CVE-2022-33891. Make sure you are running a patched, supported version of Spark and confirm it against Apache's security advisory.
When does Spark reach end-of-life?
The latest supported Spark release is 4.2.1. After end-of-life a release no longer receives security patches.
Which versions of Spark are still receiving security updates?
Supported Spark release lines (latest 4.2.1): 4.2, 4.1, 4.0, 3.5. End-of-life releases no longer receive security patches.
