CVE-2022-2316
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 · uneditedHTML injection vulnerability in secure messages of Devolutions Server before 2022.2 allows attackers to alter the rendering of the page or redirect a user to another site.
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 · high confidenceHTML injection vulnerability in Devolutions Server's secure messaging feature allows attackers to inject malicious HTML into messages. When users view these crafted messages, the injected HTML can alter page rendering or redirect users to attacker-controlled websites, representing a stored client-side injection flaw.

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.
-
Identify Devolutions Server versionCheck the installed version of Devolutions Server. This is typically found in the product UI under Help > About, or in the Windows Programs and Features list, or by checking the installation directory for version information.Affected if The installed version is any version prior to 2022.2 (e.g., 2022.1.x, 2022.0.x, earlier versions).
-
Confirm secure messaging feature is in useVerify that the secure messaging module is enabled and active. Check the Devolutions Server administration console or configuration settings to see if messaging functionality is provisioned for users.Affected if Secure messaging is enabled and users have the ability to send or receive messages within the system.
-
Review existing messages for injected contentInspect stored messages in the secure messaging system. Look for messages containing HTML tags such as <script>, <iframe>, <img>, <a href>, or other unexpected HTML elements that could indicate injection.Affected if Any messages contain unescaped HTML tags, suspicious URLs, or unexpected script content that was not intentionally authored by the message sender.
You are affected if your Devolutions Server version is below 2022.2 and the secure messaging feature is enabled and being used, as injected HTML could alter page rendering or redirect users to attacker-controlled sites.
