CVE-2016-0344
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 · uneditedCross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the My Reports component in IBM TRIRIGA Application Platform 3.3 before 3.3.2.6, 3.4 before 3.4.2.3, and 3.5 before 3.5.0.1 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via unspecified vectors. IBM X-Force ID: 111785.
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.
-
Identify the installed IBM TRIRIGA Application Platform versionLocate the version information in the product's About section, deployment descriptor, or version.properties file typically found in the installation directoryAffected if The installed version falls within the affected ranges: 3.3.0.0 to 3.3.2.5, 3.4.0.0 to 3.4.2.2, or 3.5.0.0
-
Verify the My Reports component is accessibleCheck if the My Reports module is deployed and accessible in the TRIRIGA web interface by navigating to the reports section or reviewing the component configuration in the IBM TRIRIGA Administration consoleAffected if The My Reports component is enabled and accessible to users
-
Confirm the application processes user-supplied input in My ReportsReview the application logs or use a test account to submit a benign script payload in a My Reports field (such as a report name or description) and observe if the input is reflected unescaped in the responseAffected if User-supplied input in My Reports fields is reflected in the HTML output without proper encoding or sanitization
You are affected if your IBM TRIRIGA Application Platform version is 3.3.0.0 through 3.3.2.5, 3.4.0.0 through 3.4.2.2, or 3.5.0.0, and the My Reports component is enabled and accessible in your environment.

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 data3.3.2.6
Upgrade to IBM TRIRIGA Application Platform 3.3.2.6, 3.4.2.3, 3.5.0.1 or later. As a temporary workaround, disable the My Reports component or restrict access to trusted users only until the patch can be applied.
