CVE-2018-20724
A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in pollers.php in Cacti before 1.2.0 due to lack of escaping of unintended characters in the Website Hostname for Data Collectors.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.03%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
