CVE-2020-13697

Any web server that extends this class without implementing its own GET handler is vulnerable to reflected XSS, because the GeneralHandler GET handler prints user input passed through the query string without any sanitization.

MEDIUM 6.1EPSS 0.76%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.76%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
