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 persistent cross-site scripting (XSS) flaws were found in the way Aerogear handled certain user-supplied content. A remote attacker could use these flaws to compromise the application with specially crafted input.

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

Aerogear contains multiple persistent (stored) cross-site scripting vulnerabilities where the application does not properly sanitize user-supplied content before storing and displaying it. Attackers can inject malicious scripts that execute when other users view the compromised content.

MitigationImplement proper input validation and context-aware output encoding for all user-supplied content throughout the application to prevent script execution.

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. Confirm AeroGear version
    Locate the AeroGear library or component in your deployment and determine its exact version number. Check pom.xml files, WAR archive manifests, or library directories for version 1.0.0.
    Affected if The installed AeroGear version is exactly 1.0.0
  2. Identify user input storage points
    Audit the application for features that accept and store user-supplied content such as messages, profiles, comments, or any field that persists data for later retrieval and display.
    Affected if User-supplied content is stored in a database or backend system without validation
  3. Verify content sanitization on output
    Inspect the code paths that retrieve and render stored content back to users. Determine whether output encoding or HTML sanitization is applied when the content is displayed in a browser.
    Affected if Stored content is rendered to users without proper output encoding, allowing injected scripts to execute

Your environment is affected if you are running AeroGear version 1.0.0 and any user-supplied content is stored and displayed without sanitization or output encoding.

Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.

Check your environment

Paste your version and any relevant configuration and it will be compared against the affected criteria above. Do not include secrets or credentials.

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.
