CVE-2025-34399
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 · uneditedMailEnable versions prior to 10.54 contain a reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the AddressesCc parameter of /Mondo/lang/sys/Forms/AddressBook.aspx. The AddressesCc value is not properly sanitized when processed via a GET request and is reflected within a <script> block in the JavaScript variable var sAddrCc. By supplying a crafted payload that terminates the existing LoadCurAddresses() function, inserts attacker-controlled script, and comments out remaining code, a remote attacker can execute arbitrary JavaScript in a victim’s browser when the victim attempts to send an email. Successful exploitation can redirect victims to malicious sites, steal non-HttpOnly cookies, inject arbitrary HTML or CSS, and perform actions as the authenticated user.
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 confidenceMailEnable versions before 10.54 have a reflected XSS vulnerability in the AddressesCc parameter of /Mondo/lang/sys/Forms/AddressBook.aspx. The parameter value from a GET request is directly reflected into a JavaScript variable (sAddrCc) inside a <script> block without sanitization, allowing attackers to inject arbitrary JavaScript by terminating the existing function and commenting out remaining code.

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 MailEnable installationLocate MailEnable installation directory (typically C:\Program Files\MailEnable or C:\Program Files (x86)\MailEnable) or check Windows Services for 'MailEnable Service' entry.Affected if MailEnable is not installed on the system.
-
Identify MailEnable versionCheck the MailEnable version by opening the MailEnable Administrator, going to the General > About section, or examining the version info of MEAdmin.exe or MailEnable.exe in the installation directory.Affected if The installed version is earlier than 10.54 (e.g., 10.53, 10.52, etc.).
-
Verify vulnerable endpoint existsAttempt to access the path /Mondo/lang/sys/Forms/AddressBook.aspx via the web server (e.g., http://<hostname>/Mondo/lang/sys/Forms/AddressBook.aspx). This is the vulnerable ASPX page.Affected if The AddressBook.aspx page returns a 200 OK response, indicating the page is accessible.
-
Test AddressesCc parameter reflectionSend a GET request to the AddressBook.aspx page with a test value in the AddressesCc parameter (e.g., ?AddressesCc=test), then inspect the response HTML to see if the value appears inside a <script> block unescaped.Affected if The AddressesCc parameter value is reflected directly into the page source without HTML or JavaScript encoding (e.g., the value appears as raw text in sAddrCc variable).
The environment is affected if MailEnable version is below 10.54 AND the /Mondo/lang/sys/Forms/AddressBook.aspx endpoint is accessible and reflects the AddressesCc parameter without sanitization.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scoped10.54
Upgrade to MailEnable version 10.54 or later. Until patched, sanitize all user-supplied input in the AddressesCc parameter using context-aware output encoding before reflecting it into HTML or JavaScript contexts.
10.54
- 1. Obtain MailEnable version 10.54 or later from the official MailEnable download site (mailenable.com or www.mailenable.com).
- 2. Before upgrading, back up the current MailEnable configuration and data directories.
- 3. Apply the upgrade to the MailEnable installation.
- 4. After upgrading, verify the version number matches 10.54 or later.
- 5. Test the /Mondo/lang/sys/Forms/AddressBook.aspx page with a normal request to confirm functionality works.
- 6. Consider setting the AddressesCc parameter to be rejected or sanitized at a web application firewall (WAF) level as an additional defense-in-depth measure until the upgrade is applied.
