CVE-2016-8748
In Apache NiFi before 1.0.1 and 1.1.x before 1.1.1, there is a cross-site scripting vulnerability in connection details dialog when accessed by an authorized user.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.99%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
