CVE-2016-4847
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in site/search.php in OSSEC Web UI before 0.9 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML by leveraging an unanchored regex.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.29%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
