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
Multiple authenticated cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in the XssHttpServletRequestWrapper class of shopizer v3.2.5 allows attackers to execute arbitrary web scripts or HTML via injecting a crafted payload into the getInputStream() or getReader() functions.

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 · moderate confidence

Authenticated XSS vulnerabilities exist in the XssHttpServletRequestWrapper class of shopizer v3.2.5. The getInputStream() and getReader() functions fail to properly sanitize input, allowing attackers with valid authentication to inject malicious scripts or HTML through crafted payloads.

MitigationImplement proper input sanitization and output encoding in the XssHttpServletRequestWrapper class, specifically within the getInputStream() and getReader() methods to neutralize XSS attack vectors.

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 shopizer installation
    Locate shopizer application files (check for shopizer WAR file, exploded directory, or source code). Look for pom.xml or build configuration files that specify the version.
    Affected if The application is running shopizer version 3.2.5 specifically.
  2. Locate the vulnerable class
    Find the XssHttpServletRequestWrapper.java file within the project source code or decompiled classes. Search in the servlet or filter packages.
    Affected if The XssHttpServletRequestWrapper class exists and is present in the application.
  3. Inspect getInputStream() method
    Open XssHttpServletRequestWrapper.java and examine the getInputStream() method implementation. Look for input sanitization, validation, or encoding logic.
    Affected if The getInputStream() method lacks proper input sanitization or encoding (no HTML entity encoding, no input validation, no sanitization library usage).
  4. Inspect getReader() method
    Examine the getReader() method in the same XssHttpServletRequestWrapper class for the same sanitization controls.
    Affected if The getReader() method similarly lacks proper input sanitization or encoding.
  5. Check if wrapper is actively used
    Search configuration files (web.xml, Spring configurations) for filters or servlets that utilize XssHttpServletRequestWrapper. Verify if incoming HTTP requests are processed through this wrapper.
    Affected if The XssHttpServletRequestWrapper is configured as a request filter or wrapper, meaning user input flows through the unsanitized methods.

A user is affected if running shopizer version 3.2.5, the XssHttpServletRequestWrapper class is present with unsanitized getInputStream()/getReader() methods, and this wrapper is actively applied to process HTTP requests.
