MEDIUM 6.1EPSS 1.10%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.10%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

An attacker could create a specially crafted Bitcoin script in order to cause a hard-fork from the SLP consensus. Affected users can upgrade to any version >= 0.21.4.
