CVE-2016-0254
IBM Cognos Business Intelligence 10.1 and 10.2 is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an XML External Entity Injection (XXE) error when processing XML data.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.90%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
