CVE-2013-5093
The renderLocalView function in render/views.py in graphite-web in Graphite 0.9.5 through 0.9.10 uses the pickle Python module unsafely, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted serialized object.
Does this matter?
EPSS puts the probability of exploitation in the next 30 days at 38.7%, higher than 99% of all known CVEs. Patch or mitigate before the next change window.
