CVE-2018-1672
IBM WebSphere Portal 7.0, 8.0, 8.5, and 9.0 may fail to set the correct user context in certain impersonation scenarios, which can allow a user to act with the identity of a different user.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.16%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
