Status: ModifiedMedium (5.4)—
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Web UI in IBM Connections 5.0 before CR4 and 5.5 before CR1 allows remote authenticated users to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via unspecified vectors, a different vulnerability than CVE-2016-2956 and CVE-2016-3008.
CVSS
- Version: 3.0
- Vector: CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N
- Base score: 5.4
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.61%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 48
- Score date: 10/7/2026
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).
