CVE-2019-10196
This could result in a Denial of Service through the usage of all available CPU resources and data exposure through an uninitialized memory leak in setups where an attacker could submit typed input to the auth parameter.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.39%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
