CVE-2018-15542
The Passcode feature allows authentication bypass via runtime manipulation that forces a certain method's return value to true.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.34%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description

In other words, an attacker could authenticate with an arbitrary passcode.
