JBoss RESTEasy before version 3.1.2 could be forced into parsing a request with YamlProvider, resulting in unmarshalling of potentially untrusted data which could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code with RESTEasy application permissions.

Does this matter?

High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (5.97%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
