CVE-2016-5983
IBM WebSphere Application Server (WAS) 7.0 before 7.0.0.43, 8.0 before 8.0.0.13, 8.5 before 8.5.5.11, 9.0 before 9.0.0.2, and Liberty before 16.0.0.4 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary Java code via a crafted serialized object.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (4.12%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
