CVE-2019-15716
WTF before 0.19.0 does not set the permissions of config.yml, which might make it easier for local attackers to read passwords or API keys if the permissions were misconfigured or were based on unsafe OS defaults.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.46%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
