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
User-defined script code could be stored for a upsell related shop URL. This code was not correctly sanitized when adding it to DOM. Attackers could lure victims to user accounts with malicious script code and make them execute it in the context of a trusted domain. We added sanitization for this content. No publicly available exploits are known.

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 confidence

A stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the upsell-related shop URL functionality. Attackers can store malicious JavaScript code as user-defined content, which executes without proper sanitization when rendered in the DOM, allowing script execution in the context of the trusted domain.

MitigationApply proper input validation and output encoding/sanitization when rendering user-supplied content in the DOM to prevent XSS execution.

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 Open Xchange Ox App Suite installation
    Locate the Ox App Suite installation directory and check for version file, typically found in /opt/open-xchange or similar paths depending on installation method
    Affected if The installed version is lower than 7.10.6 or equals exactly 7.10.6
  2. Determine installed version number
    Read the version file or use the package manager to query the installed ox-app-suite package version
    Affected if Version matches < 7.10.6 or = 7.10.6 as listed in affected versions
  3. Locate upsell shop URL configuration
    Search configuration files for shop URL settings, typically in ox-config or ui-config files, look for terms like 'shop', 'upsell', or 'url' in configuration directories
    Affected if User-defined shop URL content is stored in configuration and can be set by end users
  4. Verify if upsell feature is enabled
    Check configuration files or database settings for the upsell-related shop URL feature flag or parameter that enables this functionality
    Affected if The upsell shop URL feature is enabled and accepts user-supplied input
  5. Inspect DOM rendering of shop URL
    Access the application as a user, navigate to areas where shop URLs are rendered, and inspect the page source to see if user-defined URLs are being output without sanitization
    Affected if User-supplied content in shop URL fields appears unencoded in HTML source

You are affected if Open Xchange Ox App Suite version is < 7.10.6 or equals 7.10.6 AND the upsell-related shop URL feature with user-defined content is enabled in your environment.

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 · scoped
Upgrade available Upgrade to 7.10.6 or later
Fixed in 7.10.6
Interim mitigation

Apply proper input validation and output encoding/sanitization when rendering user-supplied content in the DOM to prevent XSS execution.

Recommended fix Moderate confidence

7.10.7 or later (any version after 7.10.6 that includes the sanitization patch)

  1. 1. Identify current Ox App Suite version by checking the administration interface or using the command line tool oxversion
  2. 2. Plan an upgrade to version 7.10.7 or later, which contains the sanitization fix for the upsell shop URL XSS vulnerability
  3. 3. Before upgrading, backup all configuration files, databases, and user data
  4. 4. Schedule the upgrade during a maintenance window to minimize user impact
  5. 5. Execute the upgrade following the standard Ox App Suite upgrade procedure documented at documentation.open-xchange.com
  6. 6. After upgrade, verify the upsell shop functionality works correctly and that the sanitization is properly applied
  7. 7. Clear browser caches and test with a non-malicious script to confirm the fix does not break legitimate functionality
Caveat Security patch only; no breaking changes expected as this is a sanitization addition
