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
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the entry overview tab in Devolutions Remote Desktop Manager 2023.3.36 and earlier on Windows allows an attacker with access to a data source to inject a malicious script via a specially crafted input in an entry.

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 confidence

Stored XSS vulnerability in Devolutions Remote Desktop Manager's entry overview tab allows an authenticated attacker with data source access to inject malicious JavaScript via crafted entry fields. When other users view the affected entry's overview, the injected script executes in their browser context.

MitigationUpdate to a version newer than 2023.3.36 as the primary remediation; alternatively, strictly control data source access permissions and validate/sanitize all entry inputs before rendering.

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. Identify installed Remote Desktop Manager version
    Open the application, navigate to Help > About or check the installation directory for version information. Compare the displayed version number against 2023.3.36.0.
    Affected if The installed version is 2023.3.36.0 or any earlier version.
  2. Confirm data source configuration
    Check if the application is configured to use any data sources (e.g., SQL Server, Devolutions Server, or other shared data sources) where entries are stored and synchronized across users.
    Affected if Data sources are configured and entries are stored in a shared data source accessible to multiple users.
  3. Review entry fields for suspicious content
    Inspect entries in the data source, particularly fields displayed in the entry overview tab, for any unexpected characters or patterns that may indicate injected script tags or event handlers.
    Affected if Any entry contains HTML script tags, javascript: URIs, or event handler attributes in fields shown in the overview.
  4. Test entry overview rendering
    View the overview tab of entries that may contain crafted content, observing whether the application strips or encodes special characters when rendering entry fields.
    Affected if JavaScript or HTML content renders unescaped in the browser when viewing an entry's overview tab.

A user is affected if Remote Desktop Manager version 2023.3.36.0 or lower is installed, the application uses data sources with shared entries, and entries contain unescaped script content that executes when viewed in the overview.
