Can you explain this vulnerability to me?

[{'type': 'paragraph', 'content': "CVE-2026-25490 is a stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Craft Commerce affecting versions from 4.0.0-RC1 to 4.10.0 and from 5.0.0 to 5.5.1. The vulnerability occurs because the 'Address Line 1' field in Inventory Locations is not properly sanitized before being displayed in the admin panel."}, {'type': 'paragraph', 'content': 'An attacker with access to the control panel and permissions to manage inventory locations can inject malicious JavaScript code into this field. When an administrator views the Inventory Locations page, the injected script executes in their browser.'}, {'type': 'paragraph', 'content': 'This can be exploited to perform actions such as privilege escalation by sending crafted requests to grant the attacker administrative rights, leveraging an active elevated session or tricking the administrator into re-authenticating.'}] [1]

How can this vulnerability be detected on my network or system? Can you suggest some commands?

[{'type': 'paragraph', 'content': "This vulnerability can be detected by checking if the Craft Commerce installation is running a vulnerable version (from 4.0.0-RC1 to 4.10.0 or from 5.0.0 to 5.5.1) and by testing if the 'Address Line 1' field in Inventory Locations is susceptible to stored XSS payloads."}, {'type': 'paragraph', 'content': 'A practical detection method is to attempt injecting a harmless XSS payload such as `<img src=x onerror="alert(document.domain)">` into the \'Address Line 1\' field in Inventory Locations via the admin control panel. After saving, if the script executes when viewing the Inventory Locations page, the system is vulnerable.'}, {'type': 'paragraph', 'content': "There are no specific network commands provided to detect this vulnerability, as it requires interaction with the web application's admin interface and permissions to manage inventory locations."}] [1]
