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 Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in Kiotviet KiotViet Sync allows Stored XSS. This issue affects KiotViet Sync: from n/a through 1.8.4.

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 confidence

A Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in KiotViet Sync versions up to 1.8.4 allows attackers to trick authenticated users into submitting malicious requests that result in stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS). The lack of proper CSRF token validation enables attackers to craft requests on behalf of victims that inject persistent malicious scripts into the application.

MitigationImplement anti-CSRF tokens for all state-changing operations and apply proper input validation and output encoding to prevent stored XSS. Consider updating to a patched version if available from Kiotviet.

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. Identify if KiotViet Sync is installed
    Check your application for the KiotViet Sync plugin, extension, or module. This may appear in your plugin list, application settings, or installed components depending on your deployment.
    Affected if KiotViet Sync is present in the environment
  2. Determine the installed version of KiotViet Sync
    Locate the version number for KiotViet Sync. This is typically shown in the plugin/extension details page, in a version file within the installation directory, or in your software inventory if managed centrally.
    Affected if The installed version cannot be determined or is 1.8.4 or lower
  3. Compare the version to the affected range
    Review the identified version against the affected range: versions 1.8.4 and below are vulnerable. Any version up to and including 1.8.4 is affected by this CSRF-to-stored-XSS flaw.
    Affected if The installed version is 1.8.4 or lower
  4. Verify if authenticated user sessions are active
    Determine whether the application supports authenticated user sessions that can submit state-changing requests. CSRF requires authenticated users to inadvertently send requests, so check if user authentication and session handling are enabled.
    Affected if User authentication is enabled and the application accepts state-changing requests from authenticated users

A user is affected if KiotViet Sync version 1.8.4 or lower is installed and the application processes authenticated user requests, as this combination allows the CSRF-to-stored-XSS attack chain to execute.
