Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.10%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

An authenticated user with access to the NetBackup Flex OS management shell could read arbitrary files from the underlying operating system by supplying a specially crafted path argument to a diagnostic command. Successful exploitation could expose sensitive system configuration and credential material stored on the appliance.
