Caido is a web security auditing toolkit. A Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability was identified in Caido v0.45.0 due to improper sanitization in the URL decoding tooltip of HTTP request and response editors. This issue could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary scripts, potentially leading to the theft of sensitive information. This issue has been addressed in version 0.45.1 and all users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.
This vulnerability carries a MEDIUM severity rating with a CVSS v3.1 score of 5.2, indicating it requires adjacent network access with relatively low complexity though user interaction is required requiring only low-level privileges . The vulnerability impacts confidentiality (data exposure), for affected systems.
Reported in 2025, this vulnerability emerged during an era marked by increased sophistication in supply chain attacks, cloud infrastructure vulnerabilities, and software-as-a-service (SaaS) security challenges. Security practices during this period emphasized zero-trust architectures, container security, and API protection.

SecUtils normalizes and enriches National Vulnerability Database (NVD) records by standardizing vendor and product identifiers, aggregating vulnerability metadata from both NVD and MITRE sources, and providing structured context for security teams. For affected software, we extract Common Platform Enumeration (CPE) data, Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) classifications, CVSS severity metrics, and reference data to enable rapid vulnerability prioritization and asset correlation. This record contains no exploit code, proof-of-concept instructions, or attack methodologies—only defensive intelligence necessary for patch management, risk assessment, and security operations.
