CVE-2017-5944
The dashboard subscription interface in Request Tracker (RT) 4.x before 4.0.25, 4.2.x before 4.2.14, and 4.4.x before 4.4.2 might allow remote authenticated users with certain privileges to execute arbitrary code via a crafted saved search name.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.78%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
