Does this matter?

High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.51%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.

Description

Due to a flaw in the execution order of scripts during shutdown, the firewall is terminated prematurely during system shutdown. This creates a temporary window in which internal services may become externally accessible, potentially allowing an unauthenticated remote attacker to connect to these services, resulting in full system compromise.
