Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.24%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

The Content Synchronization persistent search plugin allows unbounded memory growth when an authenticated client stops reading sync responses, enabling denial of service. Additional race conditions in plugin thread lifecycle can cause crashes during connection teardown or shutdown.
