CVE-2017-5524
Plone 4.x through 4.3.11 and 5.x through 5.0.6 allow remote attackers to bypass a sandbox protection mechanism and obtain sensitive information by leveraging the Python string format method.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.92%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
