CVE-2018-16398
In Twistlock AuthZ Broker 0.1, regular expressions are mishandled, as demonstrated by containers/aa/pause?aaa=\/start to bypass a policy in which "docker start" is allowed but "docker pause" is not allowed.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.39%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
