CVE-2018-1265
A remote attacker with CF admin privileges can upload a malicious buildpack that will allow a complete takeover of a Diego Cell VM and access to all apps running on that Diego Cell.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.74%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
