CVE-2018-5249
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Shaarli before 0.8.5 and 0.9.x before 0.9.3 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary code via the login form's username field (aka the login parameter to the ban_canLogin function in index.php).
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.50%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
