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 Verge3D versionLocate the Verge3D installation directory and check the version file or application metadata. Common locations include the v3d.js file header, package.json, or the application's version manifest.Affected if The installed version number is 4.5.2 or lower.
-
Confirm Publishing or E-Commerce module is in useInspect the application's configuration files or runtime environment to determine whether the Verge3D Publishing or E-Commerce components are actively enabled or deployed.Affected if Either the Publishing module, E-Commerce module, or both are enabled in the environment.
-
Review web application entry pointsExamine the main HTML/JavaScript files that serve the Verge3D application, looking for user input handling or dynamic code execution patterns related to the publishing/e-commerce functionality.Affected if User-supplied data is directly processed by code generation functions without apparent sanitization.
-
Check for recent security-related changesReview the application's changelog, release notes, or version documentation to confirm whether the version 4.5.3 security update has been applied.Affected if The installed version remains at 4.5.2 or earlier and no corresponding security patch has been applied.
The environment is affected if Verge3D Publishing or E-Commerce is deployed and the installed version is 4.5.2 or earlier.
