Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.21%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

The vulnerabilities could allow a remote user to send specially crafted queries to an authenticated user and steal their session cookie details, via  the "/insert/group" petition, "name" and "alias-0” parameters.
