CVE-2018-19836
In Metinfo 6.1.3, include/interface/applogin.php allows setting arbitrary HTTP headers (including the Cookie header), and common.inc.php allows registering variables from the $_COOKIE value.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.80%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

This issue can, for example, be exploited in conjunction with CVE-2018-19835 to bypass many XSS filters such as the Chrome XSS filter.
