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

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 Halvotec RaQuest installed version
    Locate the application version information through the software's About dialog, Help menu, or installation directory. Common locations include the executable properties or a version file in the installation folder.
    Affected if The installed version is exactly 10.23.10801.0
  2. Confirm application handles user-generated content
    Review the application to determine if it accepts, stores, and displays user input in areas such as forms, request fields, notes, or documentation sections.
    Affected if The application stores and renders user-supplied content to other users and runs version 10.23.10801.0
  3. Test for stored XSS persistence
    If the application accepts user input, submit a benign script payload (such as <script>alert('test')</script>) in common input fields and then view that content as a different user or in a different session to observe if the script executes.
    Affected if The injected script executes when the content is viewed by other users and the version is 10.23.10801.0

A user is affected if Halvotec RaQuest version 10.23.10801.0 is installed and the application stores and displays user-supplied content without proper output encoding.
