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 · unedited
Stored Cross-Site Scripting (Stored-XSS) vulnerability affecting the CIGESv2 system, allowing an attacker to execute and store malicious javascript code in the application form without prior registration.

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 confidence

Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in CIGESv2 allows unauthenticated attackers to inject and persist malicious JavaScript code via the application form. When other users view the stored content, the script executes in their browsers, potentially stealing session cookies or performing actions on behalf of victims.

MitigationImplement robust input validation and output encoding for all form fields, particularly those that accept user-provided content and display it back to users. Consider adding Content Security Policy (CSP) headers as a defense-in-depth measure.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Verify CIGES version
    Locate the installed version of Atisoluciones CIGES (typically found in the software's about page, version info endpoint, or configuration files) and confirm it is exactly version 2.0
    Affected if The installed version is exactly 2.0, matching the affected release listed for this CVE
  2. Identify user input forms
    Review the application to find all form fields that accept user-provided content and store it for later display (e.g., profile fields, message boards, comment sections, document metadata)
    Affected if The application contains forms that store user input for later retrieval by other users
  3. Inspect input validation
    Examine the server-side code handling form submissions to determine if input validation (allowlists, length limits, pattern matching) is implemented on the identified form fields
    Affected if No server-side input validation is performed on stored form fields, allowing arbitrary content to be saved
  4. Check output encoding on stored content
    Review how stored data is rendered when viewed by other users - verify if content is properly encoded/escaped before display (HTML entity encoding, context-aware escaping)
    Affected if Stored user content is rendered to other users without proper output encoding, allowing injected scripts to execute
  5. Confirm XSS exposure via stored content
    Submit a benign test payload (such as <script>alert('XSS')</script> or <img src=x onerror=alert(1)>) through an identified form, then view the stored content as a different user session
    Affected if The test payload executes in the browser when viewing the stored content, confirming the stored XSS vulnerability is present and exploitable

You are affected if running Atisoluciones CIGES version 2.0 and the application stores user input that is displayed to other users without proper validation and encoding, allowing injected JavaScript to execute.
