CVE-2002-1344
Directory traversal vulnerability in wget before 1.8.2-4 allows a remote FTP server to create or overwrite files as the wget user via filenames containing (1) /absolute/path or (2) ..
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (4.25%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
