CVE-2016-6837
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in MantisBT Filter API in MantisBT versions before 1.2.19, and versions 2.0.0-beta1, 1.3.0-beta1 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the 'view_type' parameter.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (3.69%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
