CVE-2008-5939
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in index.php in MODx CMS 0.9.6.2 and earlier allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a JavaScript event in the username field, possibly related to snippet.ditto.php.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.71%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
