CVE-2018-12581
A Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability has been found where an attacker can use a crafted database name to trigger an XSS attack when that database is referenced from the Designer feature.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.82%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
