CVE-2015-7415
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 IBM UrbanCode Deploy 6.0 before 6.0.1.12, 6.1 before 6.1.3.2, and 6.2 before 6.2.0.2 allow remote authenticated users to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a crafted URL.
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 · high confidenceMultiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities exist in IBM UrbanCode Deploy versions 6.0 before 6.0.1.12, 6.1 before 6.1.3.2, and 6.2 before 6.2.0.2. Authenticated users can inject arbitrary JavaScript or HTML via crafted URLs due to insufficient input sanitization in web application endpoints.

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.
-
Identify IBM UrbanCode Deploy versionLocate the installed version of IBM UrbanCode Deploy by accessing the product's About or Version information page in the web interface, or by checking the installation directory for version manifests or release notesAffected if The installed version falls within 6.0 before 6.0.1.12, 6.1 before 6.1.3.2, or 6.2 before 6.2.0.2
-
Confirm web application is runningVerify that the IBM UrbanCode Deploy web application server is active and accessible by attempting to reach the application URLAffected if The web interface is accessible and the version is within the affected range
-
Verify authentication is enabledCheck whether user authentication is enabled and functional in the IBM UrbanCode Deploy system configurationAffected if Authentication is enabled and the version is vulnerable, as authenticated users can exploit the XSS flaw
You are affected if IBM UrbanCode Deploy is running with a version in the ranges 6.0 before 6.0.1.12, 6.1 before 6.1.3.2, or 6.2 before 6.2.0.2 and the web interface with authentication is accessible.

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 dataUpgrade IBM UrbanCode Deploy to version 6.0.1.12, 6.1.3.2, 6.2.0.2 or later. If immediate upgrade is not possible, implement URL parameter validation and output encoding as compensating controls.
