CVE-2025-62528
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 · uneditedTaguette 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 confidenceThis 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.

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 Taguette versionLocate the installed Taguette instance and check its version number, typically found in the application header, about page, or installation metadataAffected if The installed version is below 1.5.0 (for example, 1.4.x or earlier)
-
Access project name fieldOpen any project in Taguette and navigate to the project settings or project details section where the project name is displayed or editableAffected if The project name contains HTML script tags, event handlers (onclick, onerror, etc.), or javascript: URIs
-
Access project description fieldNavigate to the project settings or project details section where the project description is displayed or editableAffected if The project description contains HTML script tags, event handlers, or javascript: URIs
-
Review all project metadataIterate through all projects the user has access to and inspect both name and description fields for any unexpected HTML or script contentAffected 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.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scoped1.5.0
Upgrade to Taguette version 1.5.0 or later which includes proper input sanitization/encoding for name and description fields to prevent XSS execution.
1.5.0
