CVE-2016-7981
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in valider_xml.php in SPIP 3.1.2 and earlier allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the var_url parameter in a valider_xml action.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (8.22%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
