CVE-2018-2479
SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform (BIWorkspace), versions 4.1 and 4.2, does not sufficiently encode user-controlled inputs, resulting in Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.34%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
