public sources
High CVSS base score, but low real-world exploitation probability (EPSS). Likely less urgent than the score implies.

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.

The CSP report endpoint in MISP intended to limit logged CSP reports to 1 KB but incorrectly allowed reports up to 1 MB before truncation. On deployments where the endpoint is reachable by untrusted clients, this could allow attackers to generate excessive log volume and contribute to resource exhaustion or log flooding.

This scores high on paper (CVSS 7.5) but the real-world signal is low. It is not in CISA KEV and no public exploit was found, and near-term exploitation looks unlikely (EPSS about 0%). Verify your own exposure before treating it as urgent. It is reachable over the network with no authentication and no user interaction, which is the most dangerous profile. 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.

QTI Neon is a minimal, game-agnostic, relay-based UDP multiplayer protocol library. In version 1.0.0, the relay's handleReconnectRequest forwards RECONNECT_REQUEST packets to the host without bounding them, so an unauthenticated client can drive relay-to-host amplification and cause a denial of service on the host. No fixed version is available as of this review.

FlexRIC v2.0.0 allows a single SCTP connection to bind multiple xapp_ids by sending multiple E42_SETUP_REQUESTs. On disconnect, only the first registered xapp_id's resources are cleaned up; subsequent xapp_ids and their subscriptions remain as stale entries. A remote attacker can exploit this to leak subscription state in the iApp, potentially causing resource exhaustion or state corruption over time.

PhpSpreadsheet is a pure PHP library for reading and writing spreadsheet files. In versions 4.0.0 through 5.8.0, 3.3.0 through 3.10.6, 2.2.0 through 2.4.6, 2.0.0 through 2.1.17, and all releases up to and including 1.30.5, the Gnumeric reader reads attacker-supplied .gnumeric files into memory and, when the file starts with gzip magic bytes, calls gzdecode() on the full compressed contents without enforcing a decompressed-size limit. A very small compressed .gnumeric file can expand to data larger than the PHP memory limit and crash the process during Gnumeric::canRead() before the file is rejected or fully parsed. This is reachable through normal file-type detection and Gnumeric loading paths, so applications that accept attacker-controlled spreadsheet uploads can suffer denial of service. This issue has been fixed in versions 5.8.1, 3.10.7, 2.4.7, 2.1.18 and 1.30.6.
