CVE-2018-10057
The remote management interface of cgminer 4.10.0 and bfgminer 5.5.0 allows an authenticated remote attacker to write the miner configuration file to arbitrary locations on the server due to missing basedir restrictions (absolute directory traversal).
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.32%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
