Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.53%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

An issue was discovered in HiveMQ Broker Control Center 4.3.2. A crafted clientid parameter in an MQTT packet (sent to the Broker) is reflected in the client section of the management console. The attacker's JavaScript is loaded in a browser, which can lead to theft of the session and cookie of the administrator's account of the Broker.
