CVE-2020-27359
A cross-site scripting (XSS) issue in REDCap 8.11.6 through 9.x before 10 allows attackers to inject arbitrary JavaScript or HTML in the Messenger feature.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.81%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description

It was found that the filename of the image or file attached in a message could be used to perform this XSS attack.
