Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the HTML-Scrubber module before 0.15 for Perl, when the comment feature is enabled, allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a crafted comment.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.09%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
