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
MailEnable versions prior to 10.54 contain a reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Failed parameter of /Mondo/lang/sys/Forms/MAI/AddRecipientsResult.aspx. The Failed 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 confidence

MailEnable versions prior to 10.54 contain a reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Failed parameter of /Mondo/lang/sys/Forms/MAI/AddRecipientsResult.aspx. The Failed value from a GET request is not properly sanitized before being reflected in the HTTP response, allowing an attacker to break out of existing HTML markup and inject arbitrary JavaScript. Successful exploitation enables session hijacking via non-HttpOnly cookie theft, credential theft, and actions performed in the context of the authenticated user's session.

MitigationUpgrade to MailEnable version 10.54 or later. Additionally, implement proper input validation and output encoding on the Failed parameter before reflecting it in the response.

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 MailEnable version
    Check the installed MailEnable version by looking at the version information in the MailEnable Administrator console, or check the version reported by the webmail or administration interface. On Windows, registry keys under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MailEnable may also contain version details.
    Affected if The installed version is below 10.54 (for example, 10.53, 10.52, earlier releases).
  2. Verify vulnerable endpoint exists
    Check if the file AddRecipientsResult.aspx exists in the /Mondo/lang/sys/Forms/MAI/ directory on the web server. This path is typically located under the MailEnable webmail or web administration root directory.
    Affected if The file exists and is accessible via the web server, indicating the vulnerable component is present.
  3. Confirm Failed parameter reflection
    Make a GET request to the affected page with a test value in the Failed parameter (for example, ?Failed=test) and examine the HTTP response to see if the value is reflected back in the HTML output without encoding or sanitization.
    Affected if The Failed parameter value is reflected verbatim in the response HTML without proper output encoding, indicating the XSS vulnerability is present.

A user is affected if MailEnable version is below 10.54 and the AddRecipientsResult.aspx page reflects the Failed parameter without sanitization.
