CVE-2024-6881
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 · uneditedStored XSS in M-Files Hubshare versions before 5.0.6.0 allows an authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary JavaScript in user'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 confidenceA stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in M-Files Hubshare versions prior to 5.0.6.0 allows authenticated users to inject malicious JavaScript code into data fields that are later rendered in other users' browser sessions. The attack persists because the malicious payload is stored in the application's database and executed when victims view the affected content.

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 admin interface or check the application manifest/configuration file to determine the current version numberAffected if The installed version is any release prior to 5.0.6.0
-
Review user permission assignmentsExamine the M-Files Hubshare user role and permission configuration to identify which authenticated users have permissions to create or modify content, data fields, or metadataAffected if Multiple users or groups have create/modify permissions on content-containing vaults or libraries
-
Inspect data fields for suspicious script contentUse the M-Files search or database query capability to scan text fields, metadata fields, and document properties for patterns matching script tags such as <script>, javascript:, onerror=, onload=, or other HTML event handlersAffected if Any data fields contain encoded or plain-text JavaScript payloads or HTML script tags that were not intentionally placed there by administrators
-
Monitor browser sessions for unexpected script executionReview browser developer console logs or web application firewall (WAF) logs for XSS-related warnings when users view documents, metadata, or content listings in HubshareAffected if XSS alerts or script execution errors appear in logs when users access content created by other users
-
Check application audit logs for unusual content creationReview M-Files Hubshare audit or activity logs for rapid or bulk creation of content by specific users, particularly entries containing unusual characters or patterns in text fieldsAffected if Audit logs show anomalous content creation activity with patterns indicative of injection attempts
The environment is affected if the installed M-Files Hubshare version is below 5.0.6.0 and users with content creation permissions exist, regardless of whether malicious payloads are currently detected in stored data.

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 · scoped5.0.6.0
Upgrade M-Files Hubshare to version 5.0.6.0 or later. As a temporary measure, restrict user permissions to limit who can create/modify content, and monitor for unusual script execution in user sessions.
5.0.6.0
- Upgrade M-Files Hubshare to version 5.0.6.0 or later to remediate the stored XSS vulnerability
