CVE-2026-4293
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 · uneditedThe affected Kieback & Peter DDC building controllers are vulnerable to cross-site scripting, enabling JavaScript to be executed by the victim's browser, which allows the attacker to control the browser.
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 confidenceKieback & Peter DDC building controllers contain a cross-site scripting vulnerability in their web interface. Attackers can inject malicious JavaScript that executes in victims' browsers, enabling session hijacking, credential theft, or further malicious actions against users accessing the compromised controller interface.

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.
-
Confirm the Kieback & Peter DDC web interface is accessibleAccess the web interface by navigating to the controller's IP address or hostname over HTTP/HTTPS in a browser. Verify the login page or dashboard loads successfully.Affected if The web interface is publicly or internally accessible on the network.
-
Verify the product is a Kieback & Peter DDC controllerCheck the web interface login page, banner, or system information page for the product name and firmware version. Compare the firmware version against any known version ranges for this device.Affected if The device is a Kieback & Peter DDC building controller with a known or unknown firmware version.
-
Identify unauthenticated access to the web interfaceAttempt to access protected pages or functionality without logging in. Check if the application permits access to input fields or pages without authentication.Affected if The web interface permits unauthenticated access to input fields where malicious scripts could be injected.
-
Locate input fields that accept user-supplied dataLog in to the web interface and navigate through configuration pages, device naming fields, scheduling inputs, or any form that accepts text input. Inspect the HTML source to see if input is reflected in the response without encoding.Affected if The web interface contains input fields that render user-supplied data back to the page without visible sanitization.
-
Test for reflected input without encodingEnter a test string containing HTML or JavaScript characters (such as <script>alert(1)</script> or <img src=x onerror=alert(1)>) into identified input fields and save or submit the form. Then view the page or revisit the field to see if the raw characters are rendered.Affected if The submitted test string is rendered as executable HTML or JavaScript rather than being escaped or stripped.
You are affected if the Kieback & Peter DDC web interface is enabled and any user-supplied input fields in the interface reflect unsanitized data back as executable HTML or JavaScript.

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.
From vendor dataImplement input validation and output encoding on all user-supplied data in the web interface, apply vendor-provided firmware updates, and configure Content Security Policy headers to restrict script execution.
