Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.63%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

An attacker with the permission to perform POST requests on the /api/v1/alerts endpoint could be able to execute arbitrary JavaScript code on the users of Prometheus Alertmanager.
