CVE-2019-17560
This allows an attacker to intercept downloads of autoupdates and modify the download, potentially injecting malicious code. “Apache NetBeans" versions up to and including 11.2 are affected by this vulnerability.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.07%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
