CVE-2017-18376
An improper authorization check in the User API in TheHive before 2.13.4 and 3.x before 3.3.1 allows users with read-only or read/write access to escalate their privileges to the administrator's privileges.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.86%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
