Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in BookReview beta 1.0 allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the node parameter to (1) add_review.htm, (2) suggest_review.htm, (3) suggest_category.htm, (4) add_booklist.htm, or (5) add_url.htm, the isbn parameter to (6) add_review.htm, (7) add_contents.htm, (8) add_classification.htm, the (9) chapters parameter to the add_contents page in index.php (aka add_contents.htm), (10) the user parameter to contact.htm, or (11) the submit[string] parameter to search.htm. NOTE: it is not clear whether BookReview is available to the public. If not, then it should not be included in CVE.
CVE-2005-1782
This CVE was only ever scored under CVSS v2.0. NVD CVSS v2.0 base 4.3 — v2 rates that MEDIUM (v2 bands: LOW 0.0–3.9 / MEDIUM 4.0–6.9 / HIGH 7.0–10.0; v2 has no CRITICAL band). Vector AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N. CVSS v2 is an older, coarser metric than v3.1/v4.0 (no Scope, no User Interaction, no Attack Requirements), so it is not directly comparable to a v3 or v4 score. NVD has never re-scored this record under v3. EPSS predicts 5.1% exploitation probability in the next 30 days, which is reflected in EG Risk but does not lift the v2 base. Confidence: LOW.
- Lower severity and no public exploit yet
No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.

EG Risk is EchelonGraph's 0–100 priority score: it fuses intrinsic severity with real-world exploitation and automatability so you can rank equal-severity CVEs and fix the most dangerous first. Higher = act sooner. Distinct from the 0–10 EG Score (severity).
