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 SmarterTrack installationLocate the SmarterTrack installation and determine the installed version number. This can be found in the application admin panel (typically under Help > About or similar), in Windows Programs and Features, or by querying the application's version information if accessible via API or configuration files.Affected if The installed version is lower than 100.0.8075 (e.g., 100.0.8019.14010 or any version in the 100.0.x range below 100.0.8075).
-
Verify web interface is accessibleConfirm that the SmarterTrack web interface is exposed and reachable. This is typically accessible on the server via HTTP/HTTPS on the configured port (commonly port 9999 or 443).Affected if The web interface is accessible over the network, making it possible for an attacker to deliver a crafted link to a user.
-
Check for recent security updatesReview the application's update history, release notes, or patch management records to determine if the installation has been patched to version 100.0.8075 or later.Affected if No security patch to version 100.0.8075 or higher has been applied, leaving the XSS vulnerability unmitigated.
You are affected if SmarterTrack is installed with a version lower than 100.0.8075 and the web interface is network-accessible, allowing injection of malicious scripts via crafted links.

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.
dbcve · scoped100.0.8075
Apply vendor-provided security patch for SmarterTrack. As interim measure, implement output encoding and input validation on all user-supplied data, and configure Content-Security-Policy headers to mitigate XSS execution.
SmarterTrack version 100.0.8075 or later
- Download SmarterTrack version 100.0.8075 or later from the official SmarterTools website
- Ensure you have a complete backup of your current SmarterTrack database and configuration files
- Review the SmarterTools upgrade documentation for your specific deployment type
- Execute the upgrade installer on your SmarterTrack server
- Verify the upgrade completed successfully by checking the version number in the admin panel
- Test that the XSS vulnerability is no longer exploitable in the affected component
