CVE-2024-1706
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 was determined in ZKTeco ZKBio Access IVS up to 3.3.2. This impacts an unknown function of the component Department Name Search Bar. This manipulation with the input <marquee>hi causes cross site scripting. Remote exploitation of the attack is possible. The exploit has been publicly disclosed and may be utilized. The vendor explains: "ZKBio Access IVS is no longer maintained and the product has been replaced by ZKBio CVAccess, it is recommended to replace it with the latest version of ZKBio CVAccess." This vulnerability only affects products that are no longer supported by the maintainer.
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 confidenceReflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Department Name Search Bar component of ZKTeco ZKBio Access IVS (versions up to 3.3.2). The application fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input, allowing injection of malicious HTML/JavaScript via vectors like the <marquee> tag.

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.
-
Confirm ZKBio Access IVS is runningAccess the web interface of the application by navigating to the server's URL, or check running services/processes on the host for ZKBio Access IVSAffected if The ZKBio Access IVS web application is accessible and running
-
Identify the installed versionLocate the version information in the application's web interface (typically in an About or Settings page) or check the software installation directory for version filesAffected if The installed version is 3.3.2 or any version lower than 3.3.2
-
Locate the Department Name Search Bar componentNavigate to the access control or personnel management section of the web interface where department search functionality is providedAffected if The Department Name Search Bar feature is present and accessible in the web interface
-
Check if the search bar accepts and reflects inputEnter a benign test string (such as a simple word) into the Department Name Search Bar and observe whether the input is reflected back in the response pageAffected if User-supplied input in the search bar is reflected in the page output without proper encoding
The environment is affected if ZKBio Access IVS version 3.3.2 or lower is running and the Department Name Search Bar feature reflects user input without sanitization.

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 · scopedSince ZKBio Access IVS is end-of-life and unmaintained, migrate to ZKBio CVAccess. If migration is not immediately feasible, disable the affected Department Name Search Bar functionality and implement WAF rules to detect and block XSS payloads.
ZKBio CVAccess (latest version)
- 1. Acknowledge that ZKBio Access IVS is end-of-life and no longer maintained by ZKTeco.
- 2. Note that no security patches will be released for ZKBio Access IVS versions 3.3.2 and earlier.
- 3. Plan migration from ZKBio Access IVS to ZKBio CVAccess as recommended by the vendor.
- 4. Before migration, assess current ZKBio Access IVS configuration and data to plan for proper transfer.
- 5. Deploy ZKBio CVAccess in a staging environment to validate functionality.
- 6. Migrate production systems to ZKBio CVAccess once validation is complete.
- 7. Decommission all ZKBio Access IVS installations to eliminate the XSS vulnerability exposure.
