The checklist behind the tier
Checklist · 1 of 10 yes
| No | Hits tech teams | Judgment: ePUAP is a government online services platform, not a developer tool; ops teams in agencies use it but it is not built or run by developers broadly. |
| No | Core infrastructure | Judgment: a national government portal is not software nearly every team runs. |
| No | Popular tool | Judgment: a national government e-services platform is not a widely used developer framework, tool or package. |
| Yes | Exploited in the wild | The Record: Poland shut down ePUAP following a cyberattack, so an attack actually occurred. |
| No | Public exploit | The Record source only reports the shutdown after an attack; no exploit publication is mentioned. |
| No | Remote, no login | The Record source does not state how the attack gained access, so no network unauthenticated access is reported. |
| No | Full takeover | The Record source does not report code execution, admin rights or account takeover. |
| No | Secrets exposed | The Record source does not report stolen credentials, data or customer records. |
| No | Supply chain | The Record source does not report a compromised package, update, pipeline or signing key. |
| No | No fix yet | The Record source reports the platform was shut down; no statement about a patch or fix is given. |
