CVE-2017-1000438
In OMERO 5.3.3 or earlier a user could create an OriginalFile and adjust its path such that it now points to another user's file on the underlying filesystem, then manipulate the user's data.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.93%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
