CVE-2017-1000223
A stored web content injection vulnerability (WCI, a.k.a XSS) is present in MODX Revolution CMS version 2.5.6 and earlier.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.50%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
A stored web content injection vulnerability (WCI, a.k.a XSS) is present in MODX Revolution CMS version 2.5.6 and earlier. An authenticated user with permissions to edit users can save malicious JavaScript as a User Group name and potentially take control over victims' accounts. This can lead to an escalation of privileges providing complete administrative control over the CMS.
