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
Zohocorp ManageEngine Exchange reporter Plus version 5722 and below are vulnerable to Stored XSS in the Folder-wise read mails with subject report.

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 · moderate confidence

A stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the Folder-wise read mails with subject report feature of ManageEngine Exchange Reporter Plus version 5722 and below. Attackers can inject malicious JavaScript payloads into the report parameters, which persist on the server and execute when administrators or users view the affected report, potentially leading to session hijacking or credential theft.

MitigationUpgrade to a version higher than 5722 once available, or apply vendor-supplied patches. Additionally, implement proper input validation and output encoding for the Folder-wise read mails report to neutralize XSS vectors.

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. Check installed Exchange Reporter Plus version
    Locate the product version information in the administration console under Help > About, or check the build number in the installation directory or product release notes
    Affected if The installed version is 5.7 or below (build 5722 or lower)
  2. Confirm Folder-wise read mails report feature exists
    Navigate to the Reports section in the Exchange Reporter Plus console and look for a report named 'Folder-wise read mails with subject' or similar in the mail traffic or audit reports section
    Affected if The report feature is present and accessible in the product interface
  3. Inspect report configuration for injected scripts
    Access the configuration or settings for the Folder-wise read mails report and examine any customizable parameters such as subject filters, folder selections, or display options for unexpected script tags, encoded characters, or JavaScript event handlers
    Affected if The report parameters contain script tags, javascript: URIs, or other XSS vectors in fields like subject, folder name, or display name
  4. Review saved report definitions
    Check the product's database or configuration files where report definitions are stored, looking for any stored XSS payloads in fields associated with the Folder-wise read mails report
    Affected if Malicious JavaScript code or HTML tags are found persisted in the report configuration data

A user is affected if Exchange Reporter Plus version 5.7 or below is installed AND the Folder-wise read mails report feature contains injected XSS payloads in its parameters or configuration

Upgrade available Upgrade to 5.7 or later
Fixed in 5.7
Interim mitigation

Upgrade to a version higher than 5722 once available, or apply vendor-supplied patches. Additionally, implement proper input validation and output encoding for the Folder-wise read mails report to neutralize XSS vectors.
