CVE-2021-46827
An XSS vulnerability in search terms proposals (in online documentation generated using Oxygen XML WebHelp) allows attackers to execute JavaScript by convincing a user to type specific text in the WebHelp output search field.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.45%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
