CVE-2018-8035
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 · uneditedThis vulnerability relates to the user's browser processing of DUCC webpage input data.The javascript comprising Apache UIMA DUCC (<= 2.2.2) which runs in the user's browser does not sufficiently filter user supplied inputs, which may result in unintended execution of user supplied javascript code.
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 confidenceApache UIMA DUCC versions 2.2.2 and earlier contain a Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability where JavaScript code running in the DUCC web interface does not properly filter or sanitize user-supplied input. This allows attackers to inject malicious JavaScript that executes in the browsers of other users viewing the affected pages.

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.
-
Verify Apache UIMA DUCC is installedLocate the DUCC installation directory and identify the installed version by examining version files, about pages, or the product documentation. Common locations include /opt/ducc or the installation root directory.Affected if DUCC software is present on the system
-
Confirm the installed version numberCheck the installed version against the affected range. Look for version files, build artifacts, or use command-line version queries if available in the DUCC deployment.Affected if The installed version is 2.2.2 or any earlier version (≤ 2.2.2)
-
Determine if the DUCC web interface is enabledCheck the DUCC configuration for web interface settings. Verify if the web server component (typically running on a configured port) is active and accessible.Affected if The DUCC web interface is enabled and accessible to users
-
Inspect web interface for user input fieldsAccess the DUCC web interface and identify pages or forms that accept user-supplied input which gets rendered back in responses. Common areas include job submission forms, service configuration, or logging views.Affected if The web interface contains functionality that renders user-supplied input without apparent sanitization
A user is affected if Apache UIMA DUCC version 2.2.2 or earlier is installed with the web interface enabled and user input fields are rendered without sanitization.

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 dataImplement proper input validation and output encoding/sanitization for all user-supplied data rendered in the DUCC web interface. Consider using established XSS prevention libraries and implementing Content Security Policy headers.
