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
There is a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in an NI Web Server component installed with several NI products. Depending on the product(s) in use, remediation guidance includes: install SystemLink version 2021 R3 or later, install FlexLogger 2022 Q2 or later, install LabVIEW 2021 SP1, install G Web Development 2022 R1 or later, or install Static Test Software Suite version 1.2 or later.

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.

How this class of weakness works · CWE-79

Untrusted input is placed into a web page without being neutralised, so an attacker's markup or script executes in another user's browser. That can hijack sessions, capture keystrokes, or silently perform actions as the victim. Fixing it properly means context-aware output encoding everywhere data meets HTML, backed by a content-security policy as a second line of defence.

Recommended fix High confidence

SystemLink 2021 R3+ | FlexLogger 2022 Q2+ | LabVIEW 2021 SP1 | G Web Development 2022 R1+ | Static Test Software Suite 1.2+

  1. 1. Identify which NI products with the vulnerable Web Server component are installed in your environment (FlexLogger, G Web Development Software, LabVIEW, Static Test Software Suite, or SystemLink)
  2. 2. Check the current version of each installed product against the affected versions listed
  3. 3. For SystemLink users: upgrade to version 2021 R3 or later
  4. 4. For FlexLogger users: upgrade to version 2022 Q2 or later
  5. 5. For LabVIEW users: upgrade to version 2021 SP1
  6. 6. For G Web Development Software users: upgrade to version 2022 R1 or later
  7. 7. For Static Test Software Suite users: upgrade to version 1.2 or later
  8. 8. After upgrading, verify the NI Web Server component has been updated and test that XSS vulnerability is resolved
