CVE-2017-1000139
Mahara 1.8 before 1.8.7 and 1.9 before 1.9.5 and 1.10 before 1.10.3 and 15.04 before 15.04.0 are vulnerable to server-side request forgery attacks as not all processes of curl redirects are checked against a white or black list.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.72%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
