CVE-2024-7938
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 stored Cross-site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability affecting 3DDashboard in 3DSwymer from Release 3DEXPERIENCE R2023x through Release 3DEXPERIENCE R2024x allows an attacker to execute arbitrary script code 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 exists in the 3DDashboard component of 3DSwymer within the 3DEXPERIENCE platform (versions R2023x through R2024x). The flaw allows malicious script payloads to be persisted in the dashboard, which then execute in the browsers of users who 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 if 3DEXPERIENCE platform is installedLook for the 3DEXPERIENCE installation directory (commonly under SIMULIA, DELMIA, or ENOVIA program folders on Windows, or /opt/3ds on Linux). Check for the 3DDashboard or 3DSwymer component directories within the installation.Affected if The 3DEXPERIENCE platform with 3DDashboard component is present in the environment
-
Determine the installed 3DEXPERIENCE versionLocate the version file or use the platform's version check utility. Common locations include the install directory or platform administration tools. The version should show R2023x or R2024x format.Affected if The installed version falls within R2023x through R2024x range, indicating the affected versions
-
Check if 3DDashboard component is enabledReview the 3DEXPERIENCE platform configuration to confirm whether the 3DDashboard component (part of 3DSwymer) is active and accessible to users. This may be in the platform services configuration or admin console.Affected if The 3DDashboard component is enabled and accessible to users, allowing dashboard content to be created and viewed
-
Inspect dashboard content for unexpected scriptsExamine persisted dashboard configurations, widgets, or saved views for any script tags, JavaScript event handlers, or suspicious encoded content that may indicate exploit payloads.Affected if Malicious script payloads are found persisted in dashboard configurations or content
A user is affected if they have 3DEXPERIENCE platform versions R2023x or R2024x with the 3DDashboard component enabled and accessible to users.

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 dataApply the vendor-provided patch for this vulnerability. Additionally, implement input validation and output encoding on the 3DDashboard component until the patch can be deployed.
