CVE-2018-5461
An inadequate encryption strength vulnerability in the web interface has been identified, which may allow an attacker to obtain sensitive information through a successful man-in-the-middle attack.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.45%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
