CVE-2012-6330
The localization functionality in TWiki before 5.1.3, and Foswiki 1.0.x through 1.0.10 and 1.1.x through 1.1.6, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a large integer in a %MAKETEXT% macro.
Does this matter?
EPSS puts the probability of exploitation in the next 30 days at 35.7%, higher than 98% of all known CVEs. Patch or mitigate before the next change window.
