CVE-2009-0404

Status: ModifiedMedium (4.3)—

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in Bioinformatics htmLawed 1.1.3 and 1.1.4 allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via invalid Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) expressions in the style attribute, which is processed by Internet Explorer 7.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
