CVE-2025-34408
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 Added parameter of /Mondo/lang/sys/Forms/MAI/AddRecipientsResult.aspx. The Added value is not properly sanitized when processed via a GET request and is reflected in the response, allowing an attacker to break out of existing markup and inject arbitrary script. A remote attacker can supply a crafted payload that closes an existing HTML list element, inserts attacker-controlled JavaScript, and comments out remaining code, leading to script execution in a victim’s browser when the victim visits a malicious link. 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 prior to 10.54 have a reflected XSS vulnerability in the AddRecipientsResult.aspx page. The 'Added' GET parameter is not sanitized before being reflected in the HTTP response, allowing attackers to break out of existing HTML markup and inject arbitrary JavaScript by crafting a payload that closes existing elements, inserts malicious script, and comments out the remainder.

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 found in C:\Program Files\MailEnable or C:\Program Files (x86)\MailEnable. Check for the presence of MailEnable binaries and configuration files.Affected if MailEnable is installed on the system
-
Check MailEnable versionOpen MailEnable Administrator or check the version information of the MailEnable services. The version is typically displayed in the MailEnable Administrator console under Server status or in the Windows Programs and Features list.Affected if The installed version is prior to 10.54 (e.g., 10.53, 10.52, etc.)
-
Verify vulnerable endpoint existsCheck for the presence of AddRecipientsResult.aspx file in the path /Mondo/lang/sys/Forms/MAI/ within the MailEnable web directory. This file handles recipient addition operations.Affected if The AddRecipientsResult.aspx file exists in the expected location
-
Test for reflected XSS vulnerabilitySend a crafted HTTP GET request to the AddRecipientsResult.aspx page with a malicious script in the 'Added' parameter, for example: GET /Mondo/lang/sys/Forms/MAI/AddRecipientsResult.aspx?Added=<script>alert(1)</script>. Inspect the HTTP response to see if the script is reflected without proper encoding.Affected if The 'Added' parameter value is reflected in the response without sanitization or encoding, allowing script injection
A user is affected if MailEnable version is below 10.54 AND the AddRecipientsResult.aspx endpoint is accessible AND the 'Added' GET parameter reflects unsanitized input in the HTTP response.

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, which contains the patch for this vulnerability. As a temporary workaround, disable or restrict access to the affected /Mondo/lang/sys/Forms/MAI/AddRecipientsResult.aspx endpoint until the upgrade can be applied.
MailEnable 10.54
- Download MailEnable version 10.54 or later from the official MailEnable website (mailenable.com)
- Apply the update by running the installer or following the vendor's standard upgrade procedure
- Verify the fix by testing the affected endpoint /Mondo/lang/sys/Forms/MAI/AddRecipientsResult.aspx with a benign test payload in the 'Added' parameter to confirm proper sanitization
