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
Vulnerabilities in the web-based management interface of EdgeConnect SD-WAN Orchestrator could allow an authenticated remote attacker to conduct a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) attack against an administrative user of the interface. A successful exploit allows an attacker to execute arbitrary script code in a victim's browser in the context of the affected interface.

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 confidence

Stored XSS vulnerability in EdgeConnect SD-WAN Orchestrator's web-based management interface allows authenticated attackers to inject malicious scripts that execute in the browsers of administrative users viewing the affected content.

MitigationApply vendor patch when available; implement input validation and output encoding for all user-supplied data in the management interface; consider CSP headers as defense-in-depth.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify the installed EdgeConnect SD-WAN Orchestrator version
    Access the web-based management interface and navigate to the version or about section, typically found in the system settings or help menu. Alternatively, check the orchestrator's system information page or administrative console for the exact version number.
    Affected if The displayed version falls within 9.0.0-9.0.5, 9.1.0-9.1.7, 9.2.0-9.2.5, or 9.3.0 exactly.
  2. Confirm the web-based management interface is enabled
    Verify that the web management interface is accessible by attempting to reach the orchestrator's web URL. Check the orchestration service status to confirm it is running and accepting web connections.
    Affected if The web management interface is active and reachable over the network.
  3. Identify authenticated user access paths
    Determine whether any user accounts with access to the management interface exist. Review the user management or authentication settings to confirm the presence of at least one account with administrative or editor privileges.
    Affected if There is at least one authenticated user account configured with access to the management interface.
  4. Review input handling in management interface fields
    Examine the management interface for fields that accept user-supplied data and store it for later display. Common locations include device names, descriptions, policy labels, or configuration notes. Inspect whether these fields display stored data back to users without visible sanitization indicators.
    Affected if The interface contains fields that persist user input for display to other administrative users.

You are affected if your EdgeConnect SD-WAN Orchestrator version is within 9.0.0-9.0.5, 9.1.0-9.1.7, 9.2.0-9.2.5, or exactly 9.3.0, and the web-based management interface is accessible with at least one authenticated user account.

Upgrade available Upgrade to a release after 9.2.5
Interim mitigation

Apply vendor patch when available; implement input validation and output encoding for all user-supplied data in the management interface; consider CSP headers as defense-in-depth.

Recommended fix Moderate confidence

Upgrade to the next maintenance release in your current branch (9.0.6+, 9.1.8+, 9.2.6+, or 9.3.1+)

  1. 1. Identify the current EdgeConnect SD-WAN Orchestrator version in use from the web management interface or CLI
  2. 2. Based on the current version, upgrade to the next available maintenance release that addresses the vulnerability
  3. 3. For 9.0.x branch: upgrade to 9.0.6 or later
  4. 4. For 9.1.x branch: upgrade to 9.1.8 or later
  5. 5. For 9.2.x branch: upgrade to 9.2.6 or later
  6. 6. For 9.3.0: upgrade to 9.3.1 or later
  7. 7. After upgrade, verify the web-based management interface is accessible and functional
  8. 8. Test that the XSS vulnerability is no longer present by attempting to inject script content in input fields that were previously vulnerable
