CVE-2023-7319
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 · uneditedNagios Network Analyzer versions prior to 2024R1 are vulnerable to cross-site scripting (XSS) via the Percentile Calculator menu. Insufficient validation or escaping of user-supplied input may allow an attacker to inject and execute arbitrary script in the context of a victim's browser.
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 confidenceNagios Network Analyzer versions prior to 2024R1 contain a stored XSS vulnerability in the Percentile Calculator menu where user-supplied input is not properly validated or escaped, allowing injection of arbitrary JavaScript that executes in victims' browsers when the malicious input is rendered.

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 Nagios Network Analyzer versionAccess the Nagios Network Analyzer web interface and navigate to Admin > System Information, or check the version via the backend using 'rpm -q nagiosna' or similar package query command depending on your installation methodAffected if The installed version is prior to 2024R1 (versions like 2023.x, 2022.x, etc.)
-
Confirm Percentile Calculator feature accessLog into the web interface and locate the Percentile Calculator menu option, typically found under the Reports or Tools sectionAffected if The Percentile Calculator feature is accessible and enabled in the installation
-
Review stored input in Percentile CalculatorIf you have access to the backend database, query the tables related to the Percentile Calculator feature for any stored input that may contain script tags or unusual characters (e.g., <script>, javascript:, onload=, onerror=)Affected if Suspicious or unsanitized input containing HTML/script tags is found stored in the Percentile Calculator data storage
Your environment is affected if Nagios Network Analyzer version is prior to 2024R1 AND the Percentile Calculator feature is in use AND unsanitized user input exists in that feature.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
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.
