CVE-2020-4545
IBM Aspera Connect 3.9.9 could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by improper loading of Dynamic Link Libraries by the import feature.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (3.00%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
