CVE-2012-4818
IBM InfoSphere Information Server 8.1, 8.5, and 8,7 could allow a remote authenticated attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by improper restrictions on directories.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.40%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
