Status: ModifiedMedium (4.3)—💥 Exploit

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in monitor/m_overview.ink in Websense Content Gateway before 7.7.3 allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the (1) menu or (2) item parameter.

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).

💥 Public exploits

Exploit code or detection templates are publicly available. This is not the same as confirmed active exploitation (KEV), but it raises the risk: patch with priority.
