CVE-2024-49210
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 · uneditedReflected XSS was discovered in an iView List Archer Platform UX page in Archer Platform 6.x before version 2024.09. A remote unauthenticated attacker could potentially exploit this by tricking a victim application user into supplying malicious HTML or JavaScript code to the vulnerable web application; the malicious code is then reflected back to the victim and executed by the web browser in the context of the vulnerable web application.
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 XSS vulnerability in the iView List page of RSA Archer Platform 6.x allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to inject malicious HTML or JavaScript code through user input that gets reflected back to the victim and executed in their browser context.

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.
-
Determine RSA Archer Platform versionLocate the Archer Platform installation and check the version information, typically found in the installation directory, about page, or system information within the Archer control panel. Compare the installed version against the affected range of >= 6.3.0.0 and < 2024.09.Affected if The installed version is 6.3.0.0 or higher but lower than 2024.09
-
Identify if iView List page component is presentAccess the Archer Platform web interface and navigate to the iView List functionality. This is typically found in the navigation menu under iViews or through direct URL access to the iView List endpoint.Affected if The iView List page is accessible without authentication or with valid user credentials
-
Verify user input handling in iView ListInspect the iView List page for any input fields, search parameters, or URL parameters that accept user-supplied data and display results back to the user.Affected if User-supplied input in the iView List page is reflected back in the response without proper output encoding or sanitization
The environment is affected if RSA Archer Platform version is 6.3.0.0 or higher but lower than 2024.09 AND the iView List page component is accessible and reflects user input without sanitization.
