CVE-2016-6620
The unserialization can result in code execution because of the interaction with object instantiation and autoloading.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (3.19%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
