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
An issue was discovered in Moxa ioLogik E1210, firmware Version V2.4 and prior, ioLogik E1211, firmware Version V2.3 and prior, ioLogik E1212, firmware Version V2.4 and prior, ioLogik E1213, firmware Version V2.5 and prior, ioLogik E1214, firmware Version V2.4 and prior, ioLogik E1240, firmware Version V2.3 and prior, ioLogik E1241, firmware Version V2.4 and prior, ioLogik E1242, firmware Version V2.4 and prior, ioLogik E1260, firmware Version V2.4 and prior, ioLogik E1262, firmware Version V2.4 and prior, ioLogik E2210, firmware versions prior to V3.13, ioLogik E2212, firmware versions prior to V3.14, ioLogik E2214, firmware versions prior to V3.12, ioLogik E2240, firmware versions prior to V3.12, ioLogik E2242, firmware versions prior to V3.12, ioLogik E2260, firmware versions prior to V3.13, and ioLogik E2262, firmware versions prior to V3.12. The web application fails to sanitize user input, which may allow an attacker to inject script or execute arbitrary code (CROSS-SITE SCRIPTING).

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 confidence

Moxa ioLogik E1200 and E2200 series industrial IoT devices contain a stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in their web interface. The web application fails to properly sanitize user input, allowing authenticated attackers to inject malicious JavaScript or HTML into web pages served by the device, potentially leading to session hijacking or execution of arbitrary code in the context of other users viewing the compromised interface.

MitigationUpdate firmware to vendor-specified patched versions (V2.5+ for E1200 series, V3.12-V3.14+ for E2200 series depending on model). If immediate patching is not feasible, restrict network access to the web management interface and implement WAF rules to filter malicious input.

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. Identify device model
    Access the device web interface or check the physical device labeling to confirm it is an E1200 or E2200 series ioLogik device
    Affected if Device is an E1200 or E2200 series model
  2. Check firmware version on E1200 series
    Log into the web interface and navigate to System Settings or About page to view the firmware version. Compare against vulnerable versions: 2.3, 2.4, 2.5 or earlier
    Affected if Firmware version is 2.5 or lower (2.3, 2.4, 2.5)
  3. Check firmware version on E2200 series
    Log into the web interface and navigate to System Settings or About page to view the firmware version. Compare against vulnerable versions: 3.11, 3.12, 3.13 or earlier
    Affected if Firmware version is 3.13 or lower (3.11, 3.12, 3.13)
  4. Confirm web interface is enabled
    Attempt to access the device web interface via HTTP/HTTPS in a browser
    Affected if Web interface is accessible and authentication is possible (required for XSS injection)

You are affected if you have an E1200 series device with firmware 2.5 or lower, or an E2200 series device with firmware 3.13 or lower, and the web management interface is enabled.

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 data
Upgrade available Upgrade to a release after 3.13
Interim mitigation

Update firmware to vendor-specified patched versions (V2.5+ for E1200 series, V3.12-V3.14+ for E2200 series depending on model). If immediate patching is not feasible, restrict network access to the web management interface and implement WAF rules to filter malicious input.
