CVE-2024-6124
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 in M-Files Hubshare before version 5.0.6.0 allows an attacker to execute arbitrary JavaScript code in the context of the victim's browser session
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 cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in M-Files Hubshare versions prior to 5.0.6.0 allows attackers to inject malicious JavaScript code through specially crafted URLs. The injected script executes in the context of the victim's browser session, potentially enabling session hijacking, credential theft, or phishing attacks.

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 M-Files Hubshare versionAccess the M-Files Hubshare administration interface or check the installed software version through the program menu, about section, or installed programs list on the server. Alternatively, check the version information in the application metadata or control panel.Affected if Version displayed is lower than 5.0.6.0
-
Confirm M-Files Hubshare web interface is accessibleVerify that the M-Files Hubshare web portal or browser-based interface is reachable by attempting to access the URL where users log in to Hubshare.Affected if The web interface is accessible and the application version is below 5.0.6.0
-
Check for recent access logs containing unusual URL patternsReview web server or application logs for the M-Files Hubshare portal for any suspicious URL parameters that may indicate XSS probe attempts, such as script tags or javascript: protocols in query strings.Affected if Suspicious URL patterns are found in logs and the version is below 5.0.6.0
Your environment is affected if M-Files Hubshare version is below 5.0.6.0 and the web interface is accessible to users or attackers.
