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 · uneditedCross-site scripting vulnerability exists in a-blog cms Ver.3.1.x series versions prior to Ver.3.1.7, Ver.3.0.x series versions prior to Ver.3.0.29, Ver.2.11.x series versions prior to Ver.2.11.58, Ver.2.10.x series versions prior to Ver.2.10.50, and Ver.2.9.0 and earlier versions. If this vulnerability is exploited, a user with a contributor or higher privilege may execute an arbitrary script on the web browser of the user who accessed the website using the product.
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 confidenceA stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in a-blog cms allows authenticated users with contributor-level or higher privileges to inject malicious JavaScript into web content. When other users view the affected pages, the script executes in their browsers, potentially enabling session hijacking or defacement.

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 a-blog cms versionLocate the version file or admin panel version display. Common locations include a version.php file in the root or admin/dashboard. Check the administrator control panel for the version number.Affected if The installed version is less than 2.10.50, OR between 2.11.0 and 2.11.57, OR between 3.0.0 and 3.0.28, OR between 3.1.0 and 3.1.6
-
Verify user privilege configurationAccess the user management section in the admin panel and list all user accounts with their assigned roles. Identify accounts with contributor, editor, or administrator privileges.Affected if Any user account with contributor-level or higher privileges exists in the system
-
Check content submission capabilitiesNavigate to the content authoring or blog post creation interface accessible to contributor-level users. Examine the allowed input fields and whether HTML or script tags can be submitted.Affected if Contributor-level users can create or edit web-accessible content through the cms interface
-
Inspect stored content for suspicious entriesReview published blog posts, articles, or custom form entries in the database or admin panel. Look for entries containing script tags, javascript: URLs, or event handler attributes in text fields.Affected if Any stored content contains unescaped HTML script tags or JavaScript event handlers that would execute when viewed
You are affected if your a-blog cms version falls within the vulnerable ranges AND contributor-level or higher user accounts can create or edit web content.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
