Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in Claroline before 1.8.10 allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via (1) the cwd parameter in a rqMkHtml action to document/rqmkhtml.php, or the query string to (2) announcements/announcements.php, (3) calendar/agenda.php, (4) course/index.php, (5) course_description/index.php, (6) document/document.php, (7) exercise/exercise.php, (8) group/group_space.php, (9) phpbb/newtopic.php, (10) phpbb/reply.php, (11) phpbb/viewtopic.php, (12) wiki/wiki.php, or (13) work/work.php in claroline/.
CVE-2008-3260
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 4.6% 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).
