CVE-2020-15865
A Remote Code Execution vulnerability in Stimulsoft (aka Stimulsoft Reports) 2013.1.1600.0 allows an attacker to encode C# scripts as base-64 in the report XML file so that they will be compiled and executed on the server that processes this file.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (5.12%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
