CVE-2023-46344
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 in Solar-Log Base 15 Firmware 6.0.1 Build 161, and possibly other Solar-Log Base products, allows an attacker to escalate their privileges by exploiting a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the switch group function under /#ilang=DE&b=c_smartenergy_swgroups in the web portal. The vulnerability can be exploited to gain the rights of an installer or PM, which can then be used to gain administrative access to the web portal and execute further attacks. NOTE: The vendor states that this vulnerability has been fixed with 3.0.0-60 11.10.2013 for SL 200, 500, 1000 / not existing for SL 250, 300, 1200, 2000, SL 50 Gateway, SL Base.
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 analysisUntrusted input is placed into a web page without being neutralised, so an attacker's markup or script executes in another user's browser. That can hijack sessions, capture keystrokes, or silently perform actions as the victim. Fixing it properly means context-aware output encoding everywhere data meets HTML, backed by a content-security policy as a second line of defence.

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 · scopedFor SL 200, 500, 1000: Firmware version 3.0.0-60 (released 11.10.2013) or later. For SL 250, 300, 1200, 2000, SL 50 Gateway, SL Base: Not affected per vendor.
- 1. Identify the exact Solar-Log device model (SL 200, 500, 1000, 250, 300, 1200, 2000, SL 50 Gateway, or SL Base) from the device label or web interface.
- 2. For SL 200, 500, 1000 models: Upgrade firmware to version 3.0.0-60 (released 11.10.2013) or later which vendor states contains the fix.
- 3. For SL 250, 300, 1200, 2000, SL 50 Gateway, SL Base: According to vendor note, this vulnerability does not exist on these models; no action required unless other vulnerabilities are present.
- 4. After upgrade, verify the XSS payload no longer executes in the switch group function under /#ilang=DE&b=c_smartenergy_swgroups.
- 5. If upgrading is not possible, implement web application firewall (WAF) rules to block XSS payloads in the affected parameters.
Generated from the published advisory — verify against the referenced sources before acting.
There is no version to upgrade to and no patch to apply. Every affected install stays exposed until the vendor ships a fix — or somebody else builds one.
Free. We build fixes in the order the community asks for them — and we’ll tell you the moment this one lands.
We develop and verify an original fix where the vendor hasn’t, from $900. Deployed to your staging first — never straight to production.
