The index says: very unlikely (15%). Graded on that date, right or wrong, in public.

Why the index thinks so

Emergency directives bind federal agencies and have been reserved for flaws with confirmed, consequential exploitation.

What would move it

cisa.gov/news-events/directives; a federal agency disclosing a PHP2Shell intrusion.

The exact question: CISA issues an emergency directive (not an advisory) on the PHP2Shell flaws by Oct 31
