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 · unedited
Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in SOPlanning <1.45, due to lack of proper validation of user input via /soplanning/www/process/xajax_server.php, affecting multiple parameters. This could allow a remote user to send a specially crafted query to an authenticated user and partially take control of their 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 · high confidence

Reflected XSS vulnerability in SOPlanning's /soplanning/www/process/xajax_server.php due to lack of proper input validation on multiple parameters. An attacker can inject malicious scripts that execute in authenticated users' browsers, enabling partial session hijacking.

MitigationUpgrade to SOPlanning version 1.45 or later which includes proper input validation and sanitization for the affected parameters in xajax_server.php.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Locate SOPlanning installation
    Search for the Soplanning application directory, typically found under web root paths such as /soplanning/, /var/www/soplanning/, or C:\inetpub\wwwroot\soplanning\
    Affected if SOPlanning is not installed on the system
  2. Identify installed SOPlanning version
    Check the version file or configuration. Common locations include: a version.php file in the root directory, a config.php file, or the login/about page. Look for a version number displayed in the application footer or readme file.
    Affected if The version cannot be determined or is below 1.45
  3. Verify vulnerable file exists
    Confirm the presence of /soplanning/www/process/xajax_server.php in the web accessible directory. This is the file containing the vulnerable parameter handling.
    Affected if The file xajax_server.php exists and the version is below 1.45
  4. Confirm parameter handling in xajax_server.php
    Inspect the xajax_server.php file for parameters that are processed without sanitization. Look for GET or POST parameter usage that outputs user input back to the browser without encoding or validation.
    Affected if The file contains unsanitized parameter handling and the application version is below 1.45

The environment is affected if SOPlanning is installed with a version lower than 1.45 and the xajax_server.php file contains unsanitized parameter handling for user input.

dbcve · scoped
Upgrade available Upgrade to 1.45 or later
Fixed in 1.45
Interim mitigation

Upgrade to SOPlanning version 1.45 or later which includes proper input validation and sanitization for the affected parameters in xajax_server.php.

Recommended fix High confidence

1.45

  1. Back up the current Soplanning installation and database before upgrading
  2. Download Soplanning version 1.45 or later from the official vendor website
  3. Extract the new version files
  4. Replace the existing installation files with the new version, preserving the configuration files (typically in a config folder or similar)
  5. Verify the /soplanning/www/process/xajax_server.php file has been updated
  6. Test that the application functions correctly and the XSS vulnerability is resolved by attempting to inject script tags in the affected parameters
  7. Monitor for any unexpected behavior after the upgrade
Caveat Minor: Patch release; review release notes for any minor configuration changes or deprecations
