CVE-2020-7925
Incorrect validation of user input in the role name parser may lead to use of uninitialized memory allowing an unauthenticated attacker to use a specially crafted request to cause a denial of service.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.68%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
