CVE-2025-52180
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 · uneditedCross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Zucchetti Ad Hoc Infinity 4.2 and earlier allows remote unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary JavaScript via the pHtmlSource parameter of the /ahi/jsp/gsfr_feditorHTML.jsp?pHtmlSource endpoint.

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 Zucchetti Ad Hoc Infinity installationIdentify if Zucchetti Ad Hoc Infinity is deployed in your environment by checking for the application web directory, service, or by accessing the application's login pageAffected if The application is not present in the environment
-
Determine the installed versionCheck the version of Zucchetti Ad Hoc Infinity by reviewing the application metadata, About page, or configuration files within the web application directoryAffected if The installed version is 4.2 or lower
-
Verify vulnerable endpoint existsAttempt to access the URL path /ahi/jsp/gsfr_feditorHTML.jsp on your web server and confirm it returns a valid responseAffected if The endpoint is accessible and responds to requests
-
Check pHtmlSource parameter handlingSend a test request to the vulnerable endpoint with a benign payload in the pHtmlSource parameter (such as <script>alert(1)</script>) and observe if the value is reflected in the response without encodingAffected if The pHtmlSource parameter value is reflected in the HTML response without proper encoding or sanitization
If Zucchetti Ad Hoc Infinity version 4.2 or lower is running and the /ahi/jsp/gsfr_feditorHTML.jsp endpoint is accessible with unencoded reflection of the pHtmlSource parameter, the environment is affected by this reflected XSS vulnerability.

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.
From vendor dataImplement proper input validation and output encoding on the pHtmlSource parameter, or deploy WAF rules to filter XSS payloads until a vendor patch is available.
