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
3scale API Management 2 does not perform adequate sanitation for user input in multiple fields. An authenticated user could use this flaw to inject scripts and possibly gain access to sensitive information or conduct further attacks.

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

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Red Hat 3scale API Management 2 where authenticated users can inject malicious JavaScript through multiple input fields due to inadequate server-side input sanitization, potentially allowing session hijacking or sensitive data access.

MitigationImplement comprehensive input validation and output encoding (context-aware escaping) across all user-facing fields in the 3scale admin portal; consider implementing Content Security Policy headers as defense-in-depth.

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 3scale API Management version
    Check the installed version of Red Hat 3scale API Management by reviewing system documentation, package metadata, or the admin portal footer/version page
    Affected if The installed version is 2.0 (no patches applied)
  2. Confirm admin portal is accessible
    Verify that the 3scale admin portal web interface is reachable and operational
    Affected if The admin portal is exposed and accessible to authenticated users
  3. Determine if external authentication is enabled
    Review 3scale configuration for external identity provider integrations (such as SSO or LDAP) that allow user authentication to the admin portal
    Affected if External or internal authentication is configured, allowing users to log into the admin portal
  4. Check for recent security updates
    Review Red Hat security advisories and installed package patch history to determine if CVE-2022-1414 patches have been applied
    Affected if The system has not received security updates addressing this XSS vulnerability

Your environment is affected if you are running Red Hat 3scale API Management version 2.0 with an accessible admin portal and authenticated users can interact with input fields that lack proper sanitization.

Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
