Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.83%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

An issue was discovered in PRTG Network Monitor before 21.1.66.1623. By invoking the screenshot functionality with prepared context paths, an attacker is able to verify the existence of certain files on the filesystem of the PRTG's Web server.
