CVE-2020-27193
A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Color Dialog plugin for CKEditor 4.15.0 allows remote attackers to run arbitrary web script after persuading a user to copy and paste crafted HTML code into one of editor inputs.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.05%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
