CVE-2017-5962
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient filtration of user-supplied data in the "force_ua" HTTP GET parameter passed to the "/contexts_wurfl/Library/wurfl-dbapi-1.4.4.0/check_wurfl.php" URL.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.76%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
