Status: ModifiedMedium (6.1)—💥 Exploit

Reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) exists in Sandbox examples in the YUI2 repository. The download distributions, TreeView component and the YUI Javascript library overall are not affected. NOTE: This vulnerability only affects products that are no longer supported by the maintainer.

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.

⚠️ GitHub proofs of concept are not verified: some are fake or contain malware. Never run them outside an isolated lab.
