Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Confirm Annuaire Directory versionInspect your web application files or administration interface to identify the installed version of Annuaire Directory. Look for version strings in source code comments, README files, or configuration files.Affected if The installed version is Annuaire Directory 1.0
-
Locate inscription.phpSearch your web server document root for the file inscription.php. This is the script mentioned as containing the vulnerability.Affected if The file inscription.php exists in your web accessible directories
-
Inspect the COMMENTAIRE parameter handlingExamine the source code of inscription.php to see how the COMMENTAIRE form parameter is processed. Look for any input validation, sanitization, or encoding functions applied to this parameter.Affected if No input validation, sanitization, or encoding is performed on the COMMENTAIRE parameter before it is stored or displayed
-
Check if the form accepts user inputAccess the inscription.php page in a browser or via a web request to verify the form exists and accepts a COMMENTAIRE field for user submission.Affected if The form with the COMMENTAIRE field is accessible and functional
-
Verify output rendering without encodingReview the code paths where COMMENTAIRE data is displayed back to users (both on submission and on any listing pages) to confirm whether output encoding is applied.Affected if The COMMENTAIRE value is rendered to users without HTML encoding or escaping
You are affected if Annuaire Directory version 1.0 is installed, the inscription.php file exists with a COMMENTAIRE form parameter that lacks input sanitization and output encoding.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataImplement context-aware output encoding for the COMMENTAIRE field when rendered, and/or add input validation/sanitization to strip or escape HTML/script content before storage or display.
