CVE-2017-1787
IBM Publishing Engine 2.1.2 and 6.0.5 contains an undisclosed vulnerability that could allow a local user with administrative privileges to obtain hard coded user credentials.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.35%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
