CVE-2019-6986
SPARQL Injection in VIVO Vitro v1.10.0 allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary SPARQL via the uri parameter, leading to a regular expression denial of service (ReDoS), as demonstrated by crafted use of FILTER%20regex in a /individual?uri= request.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (3.02%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
