Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.14%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Attackers can trigger a denial of service by entering a 6000-byte payload into the proxy password parameter, causing the application to crash when processing the connection settings.
