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 IBM Planning Analytics Local installationLocate the IBM Planning Analytics Local installation directory or check installed programs on the system. Verify the product name matches 'IBM Planning Analytics Local'.Affected if The product IBM Planning Analytics Local is installed on the system
-
Identify installed versionAccess the product version information through the installation directory, product documentation, or system information tools. Typical locations include the installation folder or the product's about section in the administration interface.Affected if The installed version is exactly 2.0.0 or 2.1.0
-
Verify Web UI component is enabledCheck if the Web UI component is accessible by attempting to reach the web interface through a browser or by reviewing the Web UI service status in the product configuration. The Web UI is typically accessible on a configured port (such as 5000 or 8080 by default).Affected if The Web UI component is enabled and accessible to users
-
Inspect Web UI for XSS vulnerabilityExamine the Web UI application for input fields or parameters that accept user-supplied data without proper sanitization. Focus on areas where JavaScript execution could occur, such as form inputs, URL parameters, or display fields that render user content.Affected if User-supplied input in the Web UI is rendered without proper encoding, allowing script injection
A user is affected if IBM Planning Analytics Local version 2.0.0 or 2.1.0 is installed AND the Web UI component is enabled and accessible, with unsanitized input fields present.
