CVE-2015-1159
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the cgi_puts function in cgi-bin/template.c in the template engine in CUPS before 2.0.3 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the QUERY parameter to help/.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (7.25%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
