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 HTML injection vulnerability in RWS MultiTrans v7.0.23324.2 and earlier allows attackers to alter the HTML-layout and possibly execute a phishing attack via a crafted payload injected into a sent e-mail.

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

RWS MultiTrans versions 7.0.23324.2 and earlier contain an HTML injection vulnerability in its email sending functionality. Attackers can inject arbitrary HTML payloads into sent e-mails, allowing them to alter the visual layout of messages and potentially embed malicious content for phishing attacks. This occurs due to insufficient input validation/sanitization of email content before rendering.

MitigationImplement robust HTML sanitization on all email content inputs using a vetted HTML sanitization library (e.g., DOMPurify, OWASP Java HTML Sanitizer), and configure Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to restrict script execution in email contexts.

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 MultiTrans installation and version
    Locate the MultiTrans installation directory and check the version information file, typically found in the application root or about/help dialog. Common locations include the installation folder or registry entries on Windows systems.
    Affected if The installed version is 7.0.23324.2 or any earlier version (7.0.x releases before the fix).
  2. Verify email sending feature is configured
    Access the MultiTrans administration or settings panel and locate the email/SMTP configuration section. Check if outgoing email functionality has been enabled for the application.
    Affected if Email sending is enabled and configured in MultiTrans, making the injection point accessible.
  3. Inspect email template or content handling
    Review the email configuration files or templates used by MultiTrans for outgoing messages. Look for any settings related to email content generation, subject lines, or message body handling.
    Affected if The system allows user-supplied or dynamic content to be inserted into email fields without visible sanitization controls.
  4. Check for content sanitization implementation
    Examine the MultiTrans configuration or application logs for evidence of HTML sanitization libraries (such as DOMPurify or OWASP Java HTML Sanitizer) being employed in the email pipeline. Check if CSP headers are defined in the application.
    Affected if No HTML sanitization is implemented for email content and CSP headers are not configured, indicating the vulnerability is exploitable.
  5. Review application logs for suspicious emails
    Search MultiTrans server logs and email transaction logs for any emails containing HTML tags, script elements, or unusual formatting that may indicate exploitation attempts.
    Affected if Logs show emails with injected HTML, script tags, or unexpected HTML structures that were sent through the system.

A user is affected if MultiTrans version 7.0.23324.2 or earlier is installed with email functionality enabled and no HTML sanitization is applied to email content inputs.
