What is CVE-2016-5737?

The Openstack Puppet module for Gerrit fails to properly handle the text/html MIME type, inaccurately marking it as safe. This misconfiguration can enable remote attackers to execute cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks by crafting malicious content in review comments. As a result, unprotected users may inadvertently execute harmful scripts, leading to potential data breaches or unauthorized actions within the application. It is critical for users of this module to apply proper mitigations to secure their systems.
