CVE-2016-2513
This low-severity CVE scores 3.1 under NVD CVSS v3. EPSS exploit probability: 3.3%, top 13% 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).
