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 confidenceZenvia Movidesk versions up to 25.01.22 contain a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the /Account/EditProfile profile editing functionality. The 'username' parameter is not properly sanitized, allowing an authenticated attacker to inject malicious JavaScript that executes in other users' browsers when they view the affected profile.

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.
-
Confirm Zenvia Movidesk installationLocate the Movidesk application in your environment and identify the exact version number. This is typically found in the application about page, admin panel, or in the application binaries/config files.Affected if The product is Zenvia Movidesk with version 25.01.22 or earlier.
-
Check version against affected rangeCompare your installed Movidesk version to the affected range of <= 25.01.22. If you cannot determine the exact version, check for any available version identifier in the application metadata or deployment artifacts.Affected if Your installed version is 25.01.22 or any version number lower than 25.01.22.
-
Verify /Account/EditProfile endpoint existsCheck if the /Account/EditProfile route is accessible in your Movidesk instance. This is typically found in the web application's routing configuration or by attempting to access the URL directly if you have application access.Affected if The /Account/EditProfile functionality exists and is accessible in your deployment.
-
Confirm authenticated user access to profile editingDetermine whether user authentication is enabled and whether standard users have access to the profile editing functionality. Review your authentication settings and user role permissions related to profile management.Affected if Authenticated users can access and modify their profiles through the EditProfile feature.
-
Inspect username parameter handlingIf you have access to the application, review how the username field is processed in the profile editing code or intercept a profile save request to observe how the username parameter is handled. Look for evidence of input sanitization or lack thereof.Affected if The username parameter in /Account/EditProfile is not properly sanitized before being stored or displayed.
You are affected if you are running Zenvia Movidesk version 25.01.22 or earlier and the profile editing functionality is accessible to authenticated users in your environment.
