CVE-2016-4561
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the cgierror function in CGI.pm in ikiwiki before 3.20160506 might allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via unspecified vectors involving an error message.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.47%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
