CVE-2005-0085
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in ht://dig (htdig) before 3.1.6-r7 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary web script or HTML via the config parameter, which is not properly sanitized before it is displayed in an error message.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.27%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
