Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.28%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

Formstone <=1.4.16 is vulnerable to a Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability caused by improper validation of user supplied input in the upload-target.php and upload-chunked.php files. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability using a specially crafted URL to execute a script in a victim's Web browser within the security context of the hosting Web site once the URL is clicked or visited. An attacker could use this vulnerability to steal the victim's cookie-based authentication credentials, force malware execution, user redirection and others.
