The input fields of the Apache Pluto "Chat Room" demo portlet 3.0.0 and 3.0.1 are vulnerable to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks. Mitigation: * Uninstall the ChatRoomDemo war file - or - * migrate to version 3.1.0 of the chat-room-demo war file
CVE-2019-0186
This medium-severity CVE scores 6.1 under NVD CVSS v3. EPSS exploit probability: 5.8%, top 9% of all CVEs by exploit prediction. GitHub Security Advisory data not yet ingested — confidence will rise once GHSA publishes (typical lag: hours to days for open-source ecosystem CVEs; never for infrastructure-only CVEs).
- 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.
