CVE-2005-0085 describes a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in ht://dig (htdig) versions prior to 3.1.6-r7, impacting products from Mandrakesoft, Red Hat, and SUSE. This medium-severity vulnerability (CVSS 6.8) allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary web script or HTML by injecting malicious code into the 'config' parameter, which is not properly sanitized before being displayed in error messages. While the attack complexity is medium, successful exploitation could lead to information disclosure, integrity compromise, and denial of service. There is no evidence of active exploitation, publicly available exploit code, or significant community discussion surrounding this CVE.
