CVE-2023-41042
Prior to version 3.1.1 of the `stable` branch and version 3.2.0.beta1 of the `beta` and `tests-passed` branches, importing a remote theme loads their assets into memory without enforcing limits for file size or number of files.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.51%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
