CVE-2022-47372
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 · uneditedStored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Create event section in Pandora FMS Console v766 and lower. An attacker typically exploits this vulnerability by injecting XSS payloads on popular pages of a site or passing a link to a victim, tricking them into viewing the page that contains the stored XSS payload.
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 confidenceStored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Pandora FMS Console's Create event section (v766 and lower). Attackers inject malicious JavaScript payloads that persist on the server and execute when authenticated users view the affected event creation 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.
-
Confirm Pandora FMS installation and versionCheck the Pandora FMS web console footer or locate version files in the installation directory (typically under /pandora_console or similar). The version is usually displayed on the login page or in a version.php file.Affected if The installed version is 766 or lower (including any subversion like 766.0, 765.x, etc.)
-
Verify Create Event feature accessLog into the Pandora FMS console with a valid user account and navigate to the event creation section (usually under Events > Create event or Events > New event in the menu).Affected if The Create Event form is accessible and allows input in fields like event name, description, or custom fields
-
Inspect stored event data for XSS payloadsNavigate to the event list or event viewer in the console. Examine existing events for any script tags, javascript: URIs, or other suspicious code patterns in text fields.Affected if Stored events contain unsanitized HTML or JavaScript code that could execute in a user's browser
-
Test XSS execution in event viewerWhen viewing any event (created via Create Event or existing), observe if user-supplied content renders as active HTML/JavaScript rather than being escaped or displayed as plain text.Affected if Event fields render unescaped HTML or execute JavaScript when viewed by authenticated users
The environment is affected if Pandora FMS version is 766 or lower and the Create Event functionality is accessible to users, allowing stored XSS payloads to persist and execute when other users view the events.

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.
From vendor dataImplement proper input validation and output encoding on the Create event form fields to neutralize XSS payloads. Update to a patched version of Pandora FMS if available.
