CVE-2024-53554
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 · uneditedA Client-Side Template Injection (CSTI) vulnerability in the component /project/new/scrum of Taiga v 8.6.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by injecting a malicious payload within the new project details.
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 confidenceA Client-Side Template Injection (CSTI) vulnerability exists in Taiga v8.6.1 at the /project/new/scrum endpoint. Attackers can inject malicious template payloads into new project details, which are rendered by a client-side template engine without proper sanitization, allowing arbitrary JavaScript execution in users' browsers.

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 Taiga installation and versionLocate the Taiga installation and check its version file or admin interface for the running version number (typically found in package.json, version.py, or the application's about/admin page)Affected if The installed version is exactly v8.6.1 (or falls within the v8.6.x range if additional affected versions are identified)
-
Verify the /project/new/scrum endpoint exists and is accessibleAccess the /project/new/scrum endpoint in the Taiga web interface or check the application's route configuration to confirm this endpoint is activeAffected if The endpoint is reachable and functional in the environment
-
Confirm client-side template engine is used for project detailsInspect the frontend code (JavaScript/TypeScript files) that handles rendering of project details at the /project/new/scrum endpoint to identify the template engine in useAffected if A client-side template engine (such as Angular, Vue, Handlebars, or similar) is used to render project details without server-side preprocessing
-
Check for input validation on project detail fieldsReview the application code that processes input at the /project/new/scrum endpoint to determine if user-supplied project details undergo sanitization or validation before renderingAffected if No strict input validation or context-aware output encoding is applied to project detail fields before they are passed to the client-side template engine
You are affected if running Taiga v8.6.1 with the /project/new/scrum endpoint accessible and client-side template rendering enabled for project details without proper input sanitization.

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.
From vendor dataImplement strict input validation and context-aware output encoding for all user-supplied data before rendering in client-side templates. Consider using a sandboxed template engine or upgrading to a patched version of Taiga once available.
