Once an initializer has finished running it can never be re-executed.

HIGH 7.5EPSS 1.22%

Does this matter?

High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.22%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.

Description

In OpenZeppelin <=v4.4.0, initializer functions that are invoked separate from contract creation (the most prominent example being minimal proxies) may be reentered if they make an untrusted non-view external call. Once an initializer has finished running it can never be re-executed. However, an exception put in place to support multiple inheritance made reentrancy possible, breaking the expectation that there is a single execution.
