CVE-2024-53717
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 · uneditedCross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in yonisink yPHPlista yphplista allows Stored XSS.This issue affects yPHPlista: from n/a through <= 1.1.1.
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 confidenceCSRF vulnerability in yPHPlista <= 1.1.1 allows authenticated users to be tricked into submitting malicious requests that store XSS payloads in the application. When other users view the injected content, the stored JavaScript executes in their 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 the installed yPHPlista versionLocate the version file or header in the yPHPlista installation (commonly in a version.php, config file, or the main index file) and note the reported version numberAffected if The installed version is 1.1.1 or any earlier version
-
Identify user input storage pointsReview the application for features that accept and store user-submitted content (such as notes, messages, settings fields, or any form data that persists in a database or file)Affected if The application stores any user-provided data that can be viewed by other users
-
Verify CSRF protection on state-changing formsInspect the HTML source of forms that submit or store data; check if a CSRF token field (often named token, csrf_token, or similar) is present in form markupAffected if Forms that store user data lack CSRF token fields or do not validate tokens on submission
-
Check Origin/Referer header validationExamine the server-side code handling form submissions to see if it validates the Origin or Referer HTTP headers before processing requestsAffected if The application does not validate Origin or Referer headers on state-changing operations
-
Test for stored XSS in stored content displaySubmit a test payload containing script tags or event handlers (such as <img src=x onerror=alert(1)>) through a form, then view that content as a different user or in a different sessionAffected if The submitted script payload executes when viewed by other users, indicating missing output encoding
Your environment is affected if you run yPHPlista version 1.1.1 or earlier and have forms that store user content without CSRF protection and without output encoding when displayed.
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.
From vendor dataImplement CSRF synchronizer tokens on all state-changing operations (forms, API endpoints) and validate Origin/Referer headers. Additionally, apply output encoding and input validation to prevent XSS injection.
