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
Taguette is an open source qualitative research tool. An issue has been discovered in Taguette versions prior to 1.5.0. It was possible for a project member to put JavaScript in name or description fields which would run on project load. This issue has been patched in version 1.5.0.

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 stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Taguette where project members can inject malicious JavaScript into project name or description fields. The injected script executes when other project members load the affected project, allowing session hijacking, credential theft, or unauthorized actions.

MitigationUpgrade to Taguette version 1.5.0 or later which includes proper input sanitization/encoding for name and description fields to prevent XSS execution.

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 Taguette version
    Locate the installed Taguette instance and check its version number, typically found in the application header, about page, or installation metadata
    Affected if The installed version is below 1.5.0 (for example, 1.4.x or earlier)
  2. Access project name field
    Open any project in Taguette and navigate to the project settings or project details section where the project name is displayed or editable
    Affected if The project name contains HTML script tags, event handlers (onclick, onerror, etc.), or javascript: URIs
  3. Access project description field
    Navigate to the project settings or project details section where the project description is displayed or editable
    Affected if The project description contains HTML script tags, event handlers, or javascript: URIs
  4. Review all project metadata
    Iterate through all projects the user has access to and inspect both name and description fields for any unexpected HTML or script content
    Affected if Any project name or description field contains executable script content

You are affected if running Taguette version below 1.5.0 and any project name or description field contains injected script tags or malicious HTML/JavaScript code.
