CVE-2019-11929
Insufficient boundary checks when formatting numbers in number_format allows read/write access to out-of-bounds memory, potentially leading to remote code execution.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (4.03%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
