CVE-2020-36771
In some configurations this allows local users to view the authentication token via the process list and gain code execution as another user.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.47%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
