CVE-2018-1792
IBM WebSphere MQ 8.0.0.0 through 8.0.0.10, 9.0.0.0 through 9.0.0.5, 9.0.1 through 9.0.5, and 9.1.0.0 could allow a local user to inject code that could be executed with root privileges.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.52%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
