CVE-2017-7535
foreman before version 1.16.0 is vulnerable to a stored XSS in organizations/locations assignment to hosts.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.49%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
foreman before version 1.16.0 is vulnerable to a stored XSS in organizations/locations assignment to hosts. Exploiting this requires a user to actively assign hosts to an organization that contains html in its name which is visible to the user prior to taking action.
