CVE-2024-28219
This medium-severity CVE scores 6.7 under NVD CVSS v3. EPSS exploit probability: 1.0%, top 41% of all CVEs by exploit prediction. GitHub Security Advisory data not yet ingested — confidence will rise once GHSA publishes (typical lag: hours to days for open-source ecosystem CVEs; never for infrastructure-only CVEs).
