CVE-2017-8102
Stored XSS in Serendipity v2.1-rc1 allows an attacker to steal an admin's cookie and other information by composing a new entry as an editor user.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.86%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
Stored XSS in Serendipity v2.1-rc1 allows an attacker to steal an admin's cookie and other information by composing a new entry as an editor user. This is related to lack of the serendipity_event_xsstrust plugin and a set_config error in that plugin.
