CVE-2014-8890
IBM WebSphere Application Server Liberty Profile 8.5.x before 8.5.5.4 allows remote attackers to gain privileges by leveraging the combination of a servlet's deployment descriptor security constraints and ServletSecurity annotations.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.32%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
