CVE-2018-12532
JBoss RichFaces 4.5.3 through 4.5.17 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to inject an arbitrary expression language (EL) variable mapper and execute arbitrary Java code via a MediaOutputResource's resource request, aka RF-14309.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (6.80%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
