CVE-2016-9880
The GemFire broker for Cloud Foundry 1.6.x before 1.6.5 and 1.7.x before 1.7.1 has multiple API endpoints which do not require authentication and could be used to gain access to the cluster managed by the broker.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.05%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
