CVE-2018-1552
IBM Robotic Process Automation with Automation Anywhere 10.0 and 11.0 allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by a missing restriction in which file types can be uploaded to the control room.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.91%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
