CVE-2017-18038
The repository settings resource in Atlassian Bitbucket Server before version 5.6.0 allows remote attackers to read the first line of arbitrary files via a path traversal vulnerability through the default branch name.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.45%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
