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 · unedited
Multiple 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.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in Ezboxx Portal System Beta 0.7.6 allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the pic parameter in custom/piczoom.asp, the nocatname parameter in boxx/user-upload.asp, and the iid parameter in indexes/newscomments.asp.

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

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Locate Ezboxx Portal System installation
    Search the web server for the 'Ezboxx' directory or the file 'custom/piczoom.asp' which contains the vulnerable code
    Affected if The Ezboxx Portal System Beta version 0.7.6 or earlier is found on the server
  2. Identify the installed version
    Check any version file, readme, or footer in the Ezboxx installation for the version number
    Affected if The version is 0.7.6 or any version lower than 0.7.6
  3. Verify affected file exists
    Check if custom/piczoom.asp, boxx/user-upload.asp, and indexes/newscomments.asp exist in the web root
    Affected if Any of these three ASP files are present in the installation
  4. Test the pic parameter for XSS
    Send 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
  5. Test the nocatname parameter for XSS
    Send 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
  6. Test the iid parameter for XSS
    Send 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.

Interim mitigation

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