CVE-2017-9070
In MODX Revolution before 2.5.7, a user with resource edit permissions can inject an XSS payload into the title of any post via the pagetitle parameter to connectors/index.php.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.56%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
