CVE-2016-9757
In the Create Tags page of the Rapid7 Nexpose version 6.4.12 user interface, any authenticated user who has the capability to create tags can inject cross-site scripting (XSS) elements in the tag name field.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.65%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Once this tag is viewed in the Tag Detail page of the Rapid7 Nexpose 6.4.12 UI by another authenticated user, the script is run in that user's browser context.
