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 confidenceBarco TransForm N before version 3.14 contains a license file upload mechanism in the Control Room Management Suite web application. The upload function lacks proper input sanitization, allowing malicious scripts to be injected via the file upload parameter, resulting in reflected XSS when the upload is processed or displayed.
