CVE-2016-1587: Snapweb

High severity, CVSS 7.5. EPSS: 1.1% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

An attacker could have used the controls to remotely add a valid, but malicious, snap package, from the Store, potentially using system resources without permission from the legitimate administrator of the system.
