CVE-2019-12997
In Loopchain through 2.2.1.3, an attacker can escalate privileges from a low-privilege shell by changing the environment (aka injection in the DEFAULT_SCORE_HOST environment variable).
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.04%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
