MEDIUM 5.3EPSS 0.86%
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.86%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
SWHKD 1.1.5 allows unsafe parsing via the -c option. An information leak might occur but there is a simple denial of service (memory exhaustion) upon an attempt to parse a large or infinite file (such as a block or character device).
