CVE-2007-0265
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedMultiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in Ezboxx Portal System Beta 0.7.6 and earlier allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via (1) the pic parameter to custom/piczoom.asp, (2) the nocatname parameter to boxx/user-upload.asp, or (3) the iid parameter to indexes/newscomments.asp.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

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.
-
Locate Ezboxx Portal System installationSearch the web server for the 'Ezboxx' directory or the file 'custom/piczoom.asp' which contains the vulnerable codeAffected if The Ezboxx Portal System Beta version 0.7.6 or earlier is found on the server
-
Identify the installed versionCheck any version file, readme, or footer in the Ezboxx installation for the version numberAffected if The version is 0.7.6 or any version lower than 0.7.6
-
Verify affected file existsCheck if custom/piczoom.asp, boxx/user-upload.asp, and indexes/newscomments.asp exist in the web rootAffected if Any of these three ASP files are present in the installation
-
Test the pic parameter for XSSSend an HTTP request to custom/piczoom.asp with a malicious script payload in the pic parameter, for example: pic=<script>alert('XSS')</script>Affected if The script executes in the browser response without encoding or validation being applied
-
Test the nocatname parameter for XSSSend an HTTP request to boxx/user-upload.asp with a malicious script payload in the nocatname parameter, for example: nocatname=<script>alert('XSS')</script>Affected if The script executes in the browser response without encoding or validation being applied
-
Test the iid parameter for XSSSend an HTTP request to indexes/newscomments.asp with a malicious script payload in the iid parameter, for example: iid=<script>alert('XSS')</script>Affected if The script executes in the browser response without encoding or validation being applied
The environment is affected if Ezboxx Portal System Beta version 0.7.6 or lower is installed and any of the three affected ASP files respond with unsanitized input reflecting the XSS payload.

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 dataApply proper input validation and output encoding/sanitization to the pic, nocatname, and iid parameters in the affected ASP files to prevent script injection.
