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
A vulnerability exists in Advantech iView versions prior to 5.7.05 build 7057, which could allow a reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) attack. By manipulating specific parameters, an attacker could execute unauthorized scripts in the user's browser, potentially leading to information disclosure or other malicious activities.

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

This is a reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Advantech iView versions prior to 5.7.05 build 7057. Attackers can inject malicious scripts through manipulated parameters in HTTP requests, which are then reflected back to users without proper sanitization, allowing script execution in victim browsers.

MitigationUpgrade to Advantech iView version 5.7.05 build 7057 or later. Until patched, implement input validation and output encoding on all user-supplied parameters as a compensating control.

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 installed Advantech iView version
    Access the iView web interface login page or admin panel. The version information is typically displayed on the login page footer, in the 'About' section, or in the system diagnostics page. Alternatively, check the installation directory for version metadata files if you have server access.
    Affected if The installed version is any version prior to 5.7.05.7057 (e.g., 5.7.04, 5.7.03, earlier versions).
  2. Confirm web interface is exposed
    Verify that the Advantech iView web interface is accessible over HTTP/HTTPS. This vulnerability is exploited via HTTP request parameters, so the web application must be running and reachable.
    Affected if The web interface is accessible and the application version is below 5.7.05.7057.
  3. Test for parameter reflection
    Submit a test parameter with a unique identifier (such as a random alphanumeric string) in the URL query string or POST body to any iView page. Inspect the HTTP response to see if the exact string appears in the response body unescaped.
    Affected if The submitted parameter value appears verbatim in the response HTML without being HTML-encoded (e.g., the string <script>alert(1)</script> would execute if injected).

You are affected if Advantech iView is running and the installed version is below 5.7.05.7057, and the web application reflects user-supplied parameters in responses without proper encoding.
