EchelonGraph scoreMEDIUM confidence

This high-severity CVE scores 7.3 under a secondary CVSS source (NVD's own analysis pending). EPSS exploit probability: 0.5% (41st percentile of EPSS-scored CVEs). 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).

No fix is confirmed yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for the fix.

Stored cross-site scripting in the participant URL handling in AWS Ops Wheel before PR #168 might allow an authenticated remote user to steal session tokens and escalate to full administrative control of the deployed instance via a crafted participant_url value containing a dangerous URI scheme.

To remediate this issue, users should redeploy from the latest version of aws-ops-wheel.
