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 internal product security audit of Lenovo XClarity Administrator (LXCA) discovered a Document Object Model (DOM) based cross-site scripting vulnerability in versions prior to 2.6.6 that could allow JavaScript code to be executed in the user's web browser if a specially crafted link is visited. The JavaScript code is executed on the user's system, not executed on LXCA itself.

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

DOM-based cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Lenovo XClarity Administrator (LXCA) versions prior to 2.6.6. The vulnerability exists in client-side code where user-supplied input is improperly handled when manipulating the Document Object Model (DOM), allowing execution of arbitrary JavaScript in a user's browser when they visit a specially crafted link.

MitigationUpgrade Lenovo XClarity Administrator to version 2.6.6 or later. Users should be advised to avoid clicking untrusted links as a defense-in-depth measure.

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. Verify Lenovo XClarity Administrator is running
    Access the LXCA web interface via its URL (typically https://<server>/lcma) or check if the service process is running on the host
    Affected if LXCA is accessible and running
  2. Identify the installed LXCA version
    Log into the LXCA web interface and navigate to the About or System Information page to view the version number, or use the command-line interface if available
    Affected if Unable to determine version or version is displayed
  3. Compare version against affected range
    Check if the installed version is less than 2.6.6 - the affected versions are any release prior to 2.6.6
    Affected if Version number is below 2.6.6 (for example, 2.6.5, 2.5.0, 2.4.0, etc.)

You are affected if Lenovo XClarity Administrator is running and the installed version is any release prior to 2.6.6.
