CVE-2012-4037
Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in the web client in Transmission before 2.61 allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the (1) comment, (2) created by, or (3) name field in a torrent file.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.45%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
