CVE-2017-5879
This is a blind SQL injection that can be exploited by un-authenticated users via an HTTP GET request and which can be used to dump database data out to a malicious server, using an out-of-band technique, such as select_loadfile().
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.91%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
