CVE-2025-34263
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 · uneditedAdvantech WISE-DeviceOn Server versions prior to 5.4 contain a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the /rmm/v1/plugin-config/dashboards/menus endpoint. When an authenticated user adds or edits a dashboard entry, the label and path values are stored in plugin configuration data and later rendered in the dashboard UI without proper HTML sanitation. An attacker can inject malicious script into either field, which is then executed in the browser context of users who view or interact with the affected dashboard, potentially enabling session compromise and unauthorized actions as the victim.
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 confidenceAdvantech WISE-DeviceOn Server versions prior to 5.4 contain a stored XSS vulnerability in the /rmm/v1/plugin-config/dashboards/menus endpoint where dashboard label and path values are stored and later rendered in the UI without proper HTML sanitization, allowing injection of malicious scripts that execute in victim 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 installed WISE-DeviceOn Server versionLocate the WISE-DeviceOn Server installation and check its version number. This is typically found in the application itself, an about page, or installation metadata.Affected if The installed version is prior to 5.4 (e.g., 5.3.x, 5.2.x, earlier). Versions 5.4 and later are not affected.
-
Confirm the /rmm API endpoint exists and is accessibleVerify that the endpoint /rmm/v1/plugin-config/dashboards/menus is accessible on the server. This may require authentication depending on the deployment configuration.Affected if The endpoint responds and allows access to dashboard configuration functions.
-
Check for existing dashboard configurationsInspect the dashboard configuration data stored on the server or in the database. Look for entries under the dashboards/menus path that contain label and path field values.Affected if There are stored dashboard configurations with label and path fields present in the system.
-
Inspect rendered dashboard UI elementsAccess the WISE-DeviceOn Server web interface and navigate to the dashboards section. View the rendered HTML of dashboard labels and paths to check if HTML special characters are encoded or raw.Affected if Dashboard labels or paths render unencoded HTML characters (e.g., <script> tags visible in source or executed) indicating lack of output sanitization.
The environment is affected if WISE-DeviceOn Server version is prior to 5.4 AND the /rmm/dashboards/menus functionality is accessible AND dashboard configurations are stored and rendered in the UI without sanitization.

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 · scoped5.4
Implement input validation and output encoding/sanitization for dashboard label and path fields before storage and before rendering in the UI to prevent script injection.
5.4
- Upgrade Advantech WISE-DeviceOn Server to version 5.4 or later
- After upgrading, verify the /rmm/v1/plugin-config/dashboards/menus endpoint now properly sanitizes label and path values before rendering
- Confirm that existing dashboard configurations with previously injected scripts no longer execute in the browser context
