NVD · unedited
Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in lisensee NetInsight Analytics Implementation Plugin netinsight-analytics-implementation-plugin allows Stored XSS.This issue affects NetInsight Analytics Implementation Plugin: from n/a through <= 1.0.3.

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

This is a chained vulnerability where CSRF allows attackers to force authenticated administrators to unknowingly submit requests that inject malicious scripts (Stored XSS). The lack of anti-CSRF tokens in the NetInsight Analytics Implementation Plugin enables attackers to craft malicious requests that persist malicious JavaScript, executing whenever other users view affected pages.

MitigationUpdate to the patched version of NetInsight Analytics Implementation Plugin (if available) and implement anti-CSRF tokens on all state-changing actions plus proper output encoding to prevent XSS.

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 NetInsight Analytics Implementation Plugin is installed
    Check the list of installed plugins or modules in the NetInsight admin panel under Plugin Management or System Settings. Look for 'NetInsight Analytics Implementation Plugin' in the enabled plugins list.
    Affected if The plugin is present and enabled in the system
  2. Inspect plugin forms for anti-CSRF token presence
    Access the plugin's administrative interface and view the HTML source of any forms (especially configuration or data submission forms). Look for hidden input fields containing tokens named 'csrf', 'token', 'nonce', or similar anti-CSRF mechanisms.
    Affected if Forms in the plugin lack anti-CSRF token fields or contain tokens that are not validated on submission
  3. Verify if plugin allows state-changing actions without token validation
    Submit a configuration change request to the plugin using a tool like Burp Suite or curl without including any CSRF token. Observe whether the request succeeds or returns an error related to token validation.
    Affected if State-changing requests execute successfully without requiring a valid anti-CSRF token
  4. Search for stored XSS payloads in plugin-related database tables
    Query the application database for any JavaScript tags, script elements, or XSS vectors in fields associated with the NetInsight plugin (such as analytics configurations, custom scripts, or dashboard settings). Use SQL queries to search for patterns like '<script', 'javascript:', or event handlers in plugin storage tables.
    Affected if Malicious script content is found stored in plugin configuration or content tables
  5. Review admin audit logs for suspicious plugin modifications
    Examine the system's audit or access logs for any unexpected changes to the NetInsight Analytics plugin configuration, especially those originating from unexpected IP addresses or occurring outside normal admin sessions.
    Affected if Logs show plugin configuration changes that were not initiated by legitimate administrators

A user is affected if the NetInsight Analytics Implementation Plugin is installed and its forms lack anti-CSRF protection, allowing Stored XSS payloads to be injected and persist in the system.
