CVE-2016-9417
The fetch_remote_file function in MyBB (aka MyBulletinBoard) before 1.8.8 and MyBB Merge System before 1.8.8 allows remote attackers to conduct server-side request forgery (SSRF) attacks via unspecified vectors.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.65%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
