CVE-2019-14478 — AdRem NetCrunch 10.6.0.4587 has a stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the NetCrunch web client

Medium CVSS 5.4

AdRem NetCrunch 10.6.0.4587 has a stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the NetCrunch web client. The user's input data is not properly encoded when being echoed back to the user. This data can be interpreted as executable code by the browser and allows an attacker to execute JavaScript code in the context of the user's browser if the victim opens or searches for a node whose "Display Name" contains an XSS payload.

Matched remediation archetype

Cross-site scripting and unsafe browser output

This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.

Check exposure

  • Trace reflected, stored, and DOM-derived untrusted values into HTML, attributes, URLs, styles, scripts, and client-side template sinks.
  • Identify affected origins, authenticated user roles, sensitive browser capabilities, and where content is shared across tenants.
  • Review framework escaping, rich-text sanitization, legacy templates, and client-side rendering paths.

Remediate safely

  • Use context-aware framework output encoding and safe DOM APIs; keep untrusted data out of executable contexts.
  • Sanitize intentionally supported markup with a maintained allowlist policy and validate URLs and attributes separately.
  • Update affected rendering components and add tests for every output context using inert sentinel markup.
