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 · uneditedPotential Cross-Site Scripting in ArcSight Logger versions prior to 7.3.0
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 confidenceCross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Micro Focus ArcSight Logger versions prior to 7.3.0. The vulnerability has a CVSS base score of 6.1 (Medium), indicating it requires some user interaction or limited scope to exploit.

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.
-
Identify installed ArcSight Logger versionAccess the ArcSight Logger web interface and navigate to the About or System Information page, or run the command 'arcsight logger version' from the installation directory if CLI access is availableAffected if The displayed version number is lower than 7.3.0 (for example, 7.2.x, 7.1.x, or earlier)
-
Verify web interface is accessibleConfirm the ArcSight Logger web console is reachable by accessing the management URL (typically https://hostname:port/arcsight/logger)Affected if The web interface is exposed and accessible, which is required for XSS exploitation
-
Check if user authentication is requiredReview whether the ArcSight Logger login page requires authentication before accessing the web consoleAffected if The login page or authenticated areas accept user input without proper sanitization, creating the XSS vector
The environment is affected if ArcSight Logger version is prior to 7.3.0 and the web interface is accessible to users who could trigger the XSS payload.

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 · scopedUpgrade ArcSight Logger to version 7.3.0 or later to remediate this vulnerability.
ArcSight Logger 7.3.0 or later
