MEDIUM 5.5EPSS 0.50%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.50%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

SolarWinds Web Help Desk was susceptible to a local file read vulnerability. This vulnerability requires the software be installed on Linux and configured to use non-default development/test mode making exposure to the vulnerability very limited.
