CVE-2017-16922
In com.wowza.wms.timedtext.http.HTTPProviderCaptionFile in Wowza Streaming Engine before 4.7.1, traversal of the directory structure and retrieval of a file are possible via a remote, specifically crafted HTTP request.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.42%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
