CVE-2017-12066
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in aggregate_graphs.php in Cacti before 1.1.16 allows remote authenticated users to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via specially crafted HTTP Referer headers, related to the $cancel_url variable.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.42%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
