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
Kiteworks is a private data network (PDN). In Kiteworks Secure Data Forms prior to version 9.2.1, an authenticated attacker could exploit an Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation as Stored XSS when modifying forms. Upgrade Kiteworks to version 9.2.1 or later to receive a patch.

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

Kiteworks Secure Data Forms prior to version 9.2.1 contains a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability where authenticated attackers can inject malicious JavaScript code through form modification fields. The injected payload persists and executes when other users view the affected forms.

MitigationUpgrade Kiteworks to version 9.2.1 or later to apply the patch that properly sanitizes user input in form fields.

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 Kiteworks installation and version
    Locate the Kiteworks application and retrieve its installed version number through the administrative interface or system inventory
    Affected if The installed version is Accellion Kiteworks prior to 9.2.1
  2. Verify Secure Data Forms module is active
    Check if the Secure Data Forms feature is enabled in the Kiteworks administrative console under module or feature settings
    Affected if Secure Data Forms is enabled and the Kiteworks version is below 9.2.1
  3. Review form definitions for injected scripts
    Access the form creation or modification interface in Secure Data Forms and inspect any existing form field definitions for unexpected script tags, event handlers, or javascript: URIs
    Affected if Any form contains user-defined HTML, script tags, or JavaScript event handlers in field labels, descriptions, or default values
  4. Audit recent form modifications
    Review form modification logs or audit trails to identify any recent changes made by users that introduced unusual content into form fields
    Affected if Form modifications contain base64-encoded strings, eval() calls, or suspicious character sequences typical of obfuscated XSS payloads

A Kiteworks installation is affected if it runs Secure Data Forms on a version below 9.2.1 and contains forms with unsanitized script content injected into modification fields.
