CVE-2026-1695
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 · uneditedAn XSS vulnerability affects the OAuth web services used by the WebVue, WebScheduler, TouchVue and SnapVue features of PcVue in version 12.0.0 through 16.3.3 included. It might allow a remote attacker to trick a legitimate user into loading content from another site upon unsuccessful user authentication on an unknown application (unknown client_id). This vulnerability only affects the error page of the OAuth server.
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 confidencePcVue versions 12.0.0-16.3.3 contain a reflected XSS vulnerability in the OAuth server's error page. When user authentication fails due to an unknown client_id, the error response does not properly sanitize output, allowing injection of malicious scripts via the error page that could exfiltrate session tokens or perform actions as the authenticated user.

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 PcVue installation versionLocate the installed PcVue version by checking the program files directory, or run: reg query 'HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\PcVue' /v Version (or HKLM\SOFTWARE\PcVue\Version). Alternatively, right-click the main executable and view Properties > Details for FileVersion.Affected if Installed version is between 12.0.0 and 15.2.13 inclusive, or between 16.0.0 and 16.3.3 inclusive
-
Confirm OAuth features are enabledCheck if any of the following web interfaces are installed and running: WebVue, WebScheduler, TouchVue, or SnapVue. Look for corresponding IIS sites, application pools, or check the PcVue installation folder for \WebVue\, \WebScheduler\, \TouchVue\, or \SnapVue\ subdirectories.Affected if One or more OAuth-enabled web features (WebVue, WebScheduler, TouchVue, SnapVue) are installed and accessible
-
Verify OAuth endpoint accessibilityIdentify the OAuth server endpoint URL (typically https://servername/oauth/authorize or similar). Attempt to trigger an authentication error by sending a request with an invalid or unknown client_id parameter, for example: GET /oauth/authorize?response_type=code&client_id=invalidclient123&redirect_uri=https://example.comAffected if The OAuth endpoint responds to authentication requests and returns an error page
-
Inspect OAuth error page for XSS vulnerabilitySend a crafted request with a malicious script in the client_id parameter, for example: /oauth/authorize?response_type=code&client_id=<script>alert(1)</script>&redirect_uri=https://example.com. Examine the returned HTML error page to see if the script is reflected without encoding.Affected if The error page reflects the client_id value (or any parameter) back into the HTML output without proper sanitization or encoding
You are affected if your installed PcVue version falls within 12.0.0-15.2.13 or 16.0.0-16.3.3 AND you have any OAuth-enabled web interface (WebVue, WebScheduler, TouchVue, or SnapVue) exposed, and the OAuth error page reflects unsanitized input.

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 · scoped16.3.4
Upgrade PcVue to version 16.3.4 or later. Until then, disable or restrict access to the affected OAuth endpoints for WebVue, WebScheduler, TouchVue, and SnapVue features, and implement WAF rules to filter XSS payloads in OAuth error responses.
16.3.4
- Obtain PcVue version 16.3.4 from the official vendor (www.pcvue.com)
- Follow the vendor's standard upgrade procedure to update from your current version to 16.3.4
- After upgrading, verify that the OAuth services (WebVue, WebScheduler, TouchVue, SnapVue) function correctly
- Test that the OAuth error page no longer reflects unsanitized input
