CVE-2016-9019
SQL injection vulnerability in the activate_address function in framework/modules/addressbook/controllers/addressController.php in Exponent CMS 2.3.9 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the is_what parameter.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (3.30%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
