HIGH 7.3EPSS 1.61%

Does this matter?

High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.61%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.

Description

Nagios NRPE 3.2.1 has Insufficient Filtering because, for example, nasty_metachars interprets \n as the character \ and the character n (not as the \n newline sequence). This can cause command injection.
