CVE-2017-16926
Ohcount 3.0.0 is prone to a command injection via specially crafted filenames containing shell metacharacters, which can be exploited by an attacker (providing a source tree for Ohcount processing) to execute arbitrary code as the user running Ohcount.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (5.58%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
