CVE-2001-0987 describes a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in CGIWrap versions prior to 3.7. This flaw allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary JavaScript into error messages generated by CGIWrap, which would then execute on other web clients. The vulnerability carries a high CVSS score of 7.5, indicating a severe risk due to its network attack vector, low attack complexity, and potential for partial compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. While not listed on the CISA KEV catalog and lacking Metasploit/Nuclei modules, an ExploitDB entry (EDB-21023) exists, suggesting proof-of-concept code is available, though there is no evidence of active exploitation or significant community discussion.
