CVE-2018-16739
Due to a path traversal in /opt/cgi/admin/filewrite, an attacker can write to files, and thus execute code arbitrarily with root privileges.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.14%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
