MEDIUM 5.5EPSS 0.32%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.32%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

A validation issue was addressed with improved input sanitization. This issue is fixed in iOS 14.5 and iPadOS 14.5, watchOS 7.4. A local user may be able to write arbitrary files.
