MEDIUM 5.4EPSS 0.66%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.66%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

IBM Connections is vulnerable to cross-site scripting, caused by improper validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability using a specially-crafted URL to execute script in a victim's Web browser within the security context of the hosting Web site, once the URL is clicked. An attacker could use this vulnerability to steal the victim's cookie-based authentication credentials.
