CVE-2018-13526
The mintToken function of a smart contract implementation for WangWangToken, an Ethereum token, has an integer overflow that allows the owner of the contract to set the balance of an arbitrary user to any value.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.09%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
