CVE-2024-49707
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 · uneditedInternet Starter, one of SoftCOM iKSORIS system modules, is vulnerable to Reflected XSS (Cross-site Scripting) attacks. An attacker might trick a user into filling a form designed for resetting user's password with a malicious script, what causes the script to run in user's context. This vulnerability has been patched in version 79.0
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 confidenceReflected XSS vulnerability in SoftCOM iKSORIS Internet Starter module's password reset form. Attackers can inject malicious JavaScript through form fields that get reflected back and executed in the victim's browser when they submit the crafted payload.

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 Softcom.wroc Iksoris versionLocate the application installation directory and check the version file, or query the application's built-in version information endpoint if availableAffected if version is lower than 79.0 (e.g., 78.x, 77.x, etc.)
-
Verify password reset module is accessibleNavigate to the password reset form URL (typically /password_reset, /reset, or similar endpoint in the iKSORIS Internet Starter module)Affected if the password reset form is accessible and functional in the application
-
Check application logs for XSS injection attemptsReview web server logs and application logs for suspicious patterns in password reset form submissions, looking for HTML/script tags or encoded charactersAffected if logs contain any reflected XSS payloads in password reset form parameters
-
Inspect password reset form response headersSubmit a test request to the password reset form and examine if user-supplied input is reflected in the response without proper encodingAffected if input submitted to form fields appears unescaped in the HTTP response body
If the installed Softcom.wroc Iksoris version is below 79.0 AND the password reset form module is accessible, the environment is vulnerable to this reflected XSS.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
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 · scoped79.0
Upgrade to version 79.0 or later. If immediate patching is not possible, implement server-side input validation and output encoding on all password reset form fields.
79.0
- Upgrade Iksoris Internet Starter to version 79.0 or later
- After upgrading, verify the password reset form at /password-reset (or equivalent endpoint) no longer accepts or executes malicious script payloads in form fields
- Confirm the XSS vulnerability is resolved by testing that special characters like <script> tags are properly escaped or sanitized when submitted through the password reset form
