Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.66%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

Versions prior to 2.18.2 have a Remote Code Execution (RCE) issue that allows remote authenticated attackers to execute any PHP code via the component installer. It is possible to upload a malicious component into the server, however, it won't be installed, but upload files will be executed.
