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
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Sauter EY-WS505F0x0 moduWeb Vision before 1.6.0 allows remote authenticated users to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a crafted query.

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

Authenticated cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Sauter EY-WS505F0x0 moduWeb Vision web interface allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary JavaScript or HTML through crafted query parameters, potentially enabling session hijacking or defacement against other authenticated users.

MitigationUpgrade moduWeb Vision to version 1.6.0 or later; as an interim measure, implement output encoding and input validation on all user-supplied parameters in the web application.

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 moduWeb Vision is deployed
    Identify if Sauter moduWeb Vision web interface is running on the target system by checking for the application or accessing its web portal
    Affected if moduWeb Vision is not deployed
  2. Determine installed version
    Access the web interface and check the version information typically found in the system settings, about page, or by querying the web application for version metadata
    Affected if version is 1.5 or lower
  3. Verify web interface is network-accessible
    Confirm the moduWeb Vision web interface is accessible over the network, as exploitation requires interaction with the web application
    Affected if web interface is not accessible
  4. Identify authentication mechanisms
    Check whether the web interface requires authentication and if user accounts with access exist in the system
    Affected if no authenticated users exist or no authentication is required

System is affected if moduWeb Vision version 1.5 or lower is deployed with an accessible and authenticated web interface
