CVE-2020-11813
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 · uneditedIn Rukovoditel 2.5.2, there is a stored XSS vulnerability on the configuration page via the copyright text input. Thus, an attacker can inject a malicious script to steal all users' valuable data. This copyright text is on every page so this attack vector can be very dangerous.
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 confidenceA stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in Rukovoditel 2.5.2 within the configuration page's copyright text input field. This field accepts and stores unsanitized user input, allowing malicious JavaScript to be injected and executed in the browsers of all users who view any page containing the rendered copyright text.

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.
-
Confirm Rukovoditel installationIdentify the installed application and locate its version number, typically found in the admin panel under 'About' or in version.php file within the application rootAffected if The product is Rukovoditel and version is exactly 2.5.2
-
Verify version matches CVECompare your installed version number to the affected version 2.5.2 - note this CVE affects only this specific versionAffected if Installed version is exactly 2.5.2 (not higher or lower)
-
Access configuration pageLog into the Rukovoditel application and navigate to the configuration or settings page where system-wide parameters are definedAffected if You have administrative access to view the configuration area
-
Locate copyright text input fieldOn the configuration page, identify the input field labeled 'copyright' or similar text that allows entering footer/copyright information displayed across the applicationAffected if A copyright text input field exists and accepts user-supplied text
-
Inspect stored copyright valueView the rendered HTML source of any application page and locate the copyright section, or query the database table storing configuration values to examine what copyright text is persistedAffected if The stored copyright text contains raw HTML tags or JavaScript code without sanitization
You are affected if you are running Rukovoditel version 2.5.2 and the copyright text field in the configuration contains unsanitized HTML or JavaScript that could execute in a user's browser.

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 for the copyright text field, and configure Content-Security-Policy headers to mitigate XSS execution.
