+# Reflected XSS vulnerability in keter
+
+Keter is an app-server/reverse-proxy often used with webapps build on Yesod web-framework.
+
+In the logic handling VHost dispatch, Keter was echoing back `Host` header value, unescaped,
+as part of an HTML error page. This constitutes a reflected-XSS vulnerability. Although
+not readily exploitable directly from a browser (where `Host` header can't generally assume
+arbitrary values), it may become such in presence of further weaknesses in components
+upstream of Keter in the http proxying chain. Therefore, AC:High in CVSS evaluation.
