CVE-2020-7241
This might allow attackers to read ZIP archives by guessing random ID numbers, guessing date strings with a 2020_{0..1}{0..2}_{0..3}{0..9} format, guessing UNIX timestamps, and making HTTPS requests with the complete guessed URL.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.43%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description

This might allow attackers to read ZIP archives by guessing random ID numbers, guessing date strings with a 2020_{0..1}{0..2}_{0..3}{0..9} format, guessing UNIX timestamps, and making HTTPS requests with the complete guessed URL.
