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 Astun iShare Maps installationLocate the iShare Maps application in your environment.

-
Verify the installed versionCheck the version of iShare Maps installed. This may be visible in application headers, about pages, or configuration files.Affected if The installed version is exactly 5.4.0
-
Confirm mycouncil2.aspx is accessibleVerify the mycouncil2.aspx page exists and is accessible via your web server. Attempt to access the page through the expected URL path.Affected if The mycouncil2.aspx page is reachable and responds to requests
-
Test atTxtStreet parameter for XSS vulnerabilitySend a request to mycouncil2.aspx with a benign test payload in the atTxtStreet parameter (such as a simple string) and observe how the application handles the input in the response.Affected if The atTxtStreet parameter reflects the input back without proper encoding or sanitization
