CVE-2018-7689
Lack of permission checks in the InitializeDevelPackage function in openSUSE Open Build Service before 2.9.3 allowed authenticated users to modify packages where they do not have write permissions.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.21%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
