Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (5.52%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Clusters are only affected by this vulnerability if they run a Validating Admission Webhook for Nodes that denies admission based at least partially on the old state of the Node object.
