MEDIUM 5.5EPSS 0.36%
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.36%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
Fossil 2.18 on Windows allows attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) via an XSS payload in a ticket. This occurs because the ticket data is stored in a temporary file, and the product does not properly handle the absence of this file after Windows Defender has flagged it as malware.
