CVE-2017-16908
In Horde Groupware 5.2.19, there is XSS via the Name field during creation of a new Resource.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.75%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
In Horde Groupware 5.2.19, there is XSS via the Name field during creation of a new Resource. This can be leveraged for remote code execution after compromising an administrator account, because the CVE-2015-7984 CSRF protection mechanism can then be bypassed.
