CVE-2015-5690
The management console on Symantec Web Gateway (SWG) appliances with software before 5.2.2 DB 5.0.0.1277 allows remote authenticated users to bypass intended access restrictions and execute arbitrary commands by leveraging a "redirect."
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (3.50%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
