CVE-2016-9148
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in CA Service Desk Manager (formerly CA Service Desk) 12.9 and 14.1 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the QBE.EQ.REF_NUM parameter.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.83%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
