CVE-2022-37952
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 · uneditedA reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the iHistorian Data Display of WorkstationST (<v07.09.15) could allow an attacker to compromise a victim's browser. WorkstationST is only deployed in specific, controlled environments rendering attack complexity significantly higher than if the attack were conducted on the software in isolation. WorkstationST v07.09.15 can be found in ControlST v07.09.07 SP8 and greater.
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 confidenceA reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the iHistorian Data Display component of WorkstationST versions prior to 07.09.15. The flaw allows attackers to inject malicious scripts through unsanitized user input that gets reflected back to the victim's browser, potentially compromising session cookies or executing arbitrary JavaScript in the context of the vulnerable page.

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.
-
Verify WorkstationST is installedCheck the installed applications or program list on the system for 'GE WorkstationST' or 'WorkstationST'Affected if WorkstationST is present on the system
-
Determine the installed WorkstationST versionOpen the application or check its properties/details to find the version number, typically shown as '07.xx.xx' formatAffected if The version displayed is less than 07.09.15
-
Confirm iHistorian Data Display component is accessibleAttempt to access the iHistorian Data Display interface through the application's web interface or component listing, if availableAffected if The iHistorian Data Display component is present and accessible
-
Check if the application serves web contentReview the application's configuration or running services to determine if it exposes a web server or interface that could reflect user inputAffected if The application runs a web service that handles user input and returns responses to the browser
A user is affected if WorkstationST version is below 07.09.15 and the iHistorian Data Display component is accessible and handles user input through a web interface.

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 · scoped07.09.15
Upgrade WorkstationST to v07.09.15 or later (included in ControlST v07.09.07 SP8 and greater). In the interim, disable or restrict access to the iHistorian Data Display interface until the patch can be applied.
WorkstationST v07.09.15 or later / ControlST v07.09.07 SP8 or later
- Upgrade WorkstationST to version 07.09.15 or later
- Alternatively, upgrade to ControlST v07.09.07 SP8 or greater which includes the fixed WorkstationST version
- Verify the upgrade by checking the iHistorian Data Display component version
