Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.28%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

In Gitblit v1.7.1, a reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the way repository path names are handled. By injecting a specially crafted path payload an attacker can cause arbitrary JavaScript to execute when a victim views the manipulated URL. This flaw stems from insufficient input sanitization of filename elements.
