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

Multiple reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities exist in Sitecore CMS 9.0.1 and earlier, allowing remote attackers to inject arbitrary JavaScript or HTML via nine different attack vectors including the List Manager Dashboard, Campaign Creator module, Attributes field, Icon Selection module, Latitude/Longitude fields, UploadPackage2.aspx, Context menu, and Insert from Template dialog.

MitigationUpgrade to a patched version of Sitecore CMS or apply vendor-supplied security patches for the nine affected modules; until patched, implement output encoding and input validation as compensating controls.

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 installed Sitecore CMS version
    Access the Sitecore login page or check the version information in the Sitecore admin interface (typically at /sitecore/login or via the Version tab in the Control Panel). Alternatively, check the Sitecore.License.xml file or the release notes bundled with the installation.
    Affected if The installed version is 9.0.1 or any version lower than 9.0.1 (versions <= 9.0.1 are affected).
  2. Verify List Manager module accessibility
    Attempt to access the List Manager Dashboard (typically found at /sitecore/shell/Applications/ListManager or similar List Manager paths).
    Affected if The List Manager module is accessible and the installed CMS version is <= 9.0.1.
  3. Verify Campaign Creator module accessibility
    Attempt to access the Campaign Creator module through the marketing automation interface.
    Affected if The Campaign Creator module is accessible and the installed CMS version is <= 9.0.1.
  4. Verify UploadPackage2.aspx is accessible
    Navigate to /sitecore/shell/Applications/UploadPackage2.aspx or similar upload package endpoints.
    Affected if The UploadPackage2.aspx page is accessible and the installed CMS version is <= 9.0.1.
  5. Verify Icon Selection module accessibility
    Access the Icon Selection dialog/module typically found in template or item editing interfaces.
    Affected if The Icon Selection module is accessible and the installed CMS version is <= 9.0.1.
  6. Verify Context menu and Insert from Template dialog accessibility
    Test the context menu functionality and Insert from Template dialog in the Content Editor or Experience Editor.
    Affected if These dialogs are functional and the installed CMS version is <= 9.0.1.

You are affected if your installed Sitecore CMS version is 9.0.1 or earlier and any of the nine affected modules (List Manager Dashboard, Campaign Creator, Attributes field, Icon Selection, Latitude/Longitude fields, UploadPackage2.aspx, Context menu, or Insert from Template dialog) are accessible in your environment.
