CVE-2023-2044
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 vulnerability has been found in Control iD iDSecure 4.7.29.1 and classified as problematic. This vulnerability affects unknown code of the component Dispositivos Page. The manipulation of the argument IP-DNS leads to cross site scripting. The attack can be initiated remotely. VDB-225922 is the identifier assigned to this vulnerability. NOTE: The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.
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 stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the Dispositivos (Devices) page of Control iD iDSecure version 4.7.29.1. The IP-DNS parameter lacks proper input sanitization, allowing remote attackers to inject malicious JavaScript that executes in the browsers of users viewing the device configuration 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 iDSecure versionLocate the iDSecure installation and check the software version. This is typically found in the web interface footer, the about page, or in the Windows Programs list if installed locally. Common paths: login to the web console and look for version info in the footer or Help > About.Affected if The installed version is exactly 4.7.29.1 (no other versions are listed as affected)
-
Confirm Dispositivos page accessNavigate to the Dispositivos (Devices) section in the iDSecure web interface. This is typically found in the navigation menu under Devices, Dispositivos, or a similar localization.Affected if The Dispositivos page is accessible and loads successfully in the web interface
-
Identify IP-DNS parameter presenceIn the Dispositivos page, locate the device configuration form and identify the IP-DNS field. This field is used to configure DNS settings for network-connected devices managed by iDSecure.Affected if The IP-DNS input field exists in the device configuration form on the Dispositivos page
-
Test XSS payload injection (if authorized)If you have authorization for security testing, submit a benign XSS test payload such as <script>alert('XSS')</script> in the IP-DNS field, save the configuration, then view the page again to see if the script executes.Affected if The payload executes and triggers a JavaScript alert, confirming the stored XSS vulnerability
You are affected if your iDSecure version is exactly 4.7.29.1 and the Dispositivos page with the IP-DNS parameter is accessible in your environment.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
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 contextual output encoding for all user-supplied input rendered in the Dispositivos page and add input validation for the IP-DNS field. Since the vendor has not responded, consider deploying a WAF rule to block XSS payloads targeting this parameter as a compensating control.
