Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.56%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

An incomplete string comparison in the numpy.core component in NumPy before 1.22.0 allows attackers to trigger slightly incorrect copying by constructing specific string objects. NOTE: the vendor states that this reported code behavior is "completely harmless."
