CVE-2020-13652
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 · uneditedAn issue was discovered in DigDash 2018R2 before p20200528, 2019R1 before p20200528, 2019R2 before p20200430, and 2020R1 before p20200507. A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the login menu.
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 confidenceCross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the login menu of DigDash dashboard software allows attackers to inject malicious scripts via unsanitized user input, potentially stealing session cookies or performing actions on behalf of authenticated users.
Verify against the referenced sources before acting — the references below are authoritative for this CVE, this summary is not.

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.
-
Identify DigDash versionLocate the DigDash installation directory and check the version file or product information, typically found in the installation folder or the application's about/admin panelAffected if The installed version is 2018r2, 2019r1, or 2019r2 (any build within these releases)
-
Verify login component accessibilityConfirm that the DigDash web interface login page is accessible by navigating to the application's URL in a browserAffected if The login page is reachable without authentication (this is the vulnerable component)
-
Inspect login form for input fieldsView the page source or inspect the HTML of the login page to identify the input fields (typically username and password)Affected if The login form contains input fields that accept user-supplied data without visible sanitization indicators in the markup
-
Test for lack of input sanitizationAttempt to enter a benign test string containing HTML characters (such as <script>alert(1)</script>) into the login username or password field and observe if the characters are reflected back in the response without encodingAffected if The input is reflected in the response without proper HTML encoding (characters appear as literal < and > rather than < and >)
A user is affected if they are running DigDash versions 2018r2, 2019r1, or 2019r2 and the login page reflects unsanitized user input in the response.

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 dataApply input validation and output encoding to all user-supplied data in the login component. Update to the patched versions (2018R2 p20200528+, 2019R1 p20200528+, 2019R2 p20200430+, 2020R1 p20200507+).
