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
An XSS in Flexense SyncBreeze affects all versions (tested from SyncBreeze Enterprise from v10.1 to v10.7).

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

A reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in Flexense SyncBreeze Enterprise across versions 10.1 through 10.7. The vulnerability allows attackers to inject malicious JavaScript that executes in the victim's browser session when they interact with specially crafted URLs or form inputs.

MitigationUpgrade to a patched version of SyncBreeze or apply vendor-provided security updates. Until patched, implement output encoding on user inputs and consider deploying WAF rules to filter XSS attack patterns.

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. Confirm SyncBreeze installation
    Check running processes or installed programs for SyncBreeze Enterprise. Look for the SyncBreeze service or executable on the system.
    Affected if SyncBreeze Enterprise is installed and running
  2. Identify installed version
    Locate the SyncBreeze executable or check the service information to find the exact version number.
    Affected if Version cannot be determined or is within 10.1 to 10.7 range
  3. Verify web interface accessibility
    Attempt to access the SyncBreeze web interface (typically port 80 or 443) or check if the HTTP server component is enabled.
    Affected if Web interface is accessible and the application is reachable over the network
  4. Compare version against affected range
    Compare the installed version number to the affected range: version 10.1 through 10.7 inclusive.
    Affected if Installed version is 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, 10.5, 10.6, or 10.7

The environment is affected if SyncBreeze Enterprise is running with a web interface and the installed version falls between 10.1 and 10.7 inclusive.
