Real, but low real-world risk
A genuine vulnerability on paper, but EPSS shows little real-world exploitation — the base score may overstate urgency. This is not the same as a false positive.

Verdicts are the quick signal. Notes are the evidence and fixes behind them.
- 0
Proof-of-concept code is on GitHub. Exploitation has been demonstrated, though it may need adapting to a real target. It needs local access, so it reads more as a privilege-escalation or post-access risk than a remote one. Not an emergency for most teams, but patch it in your normal cycle and check whether the affected component is actually exposed in your setup.
