CVE-2002-1276
An incomplete fix for a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in SquirrelMail 1.2.8 calls the strip_tags function on the PHP_SELF value but does not save the result back to that variable, leaving it open to cross-site scripting attacks.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.37%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
