CVE-2017-16691
SAP Note Assistant tool (SAP BASIS from 7.00 to 7.02, from 7.10 to 7.11, 7.30, 7.31,7.40, from 7.50 to 7.52) supports upload of digitally signed note file of type 'SAR'.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.25%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
