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
Sync Breeze Enterprise Server v10.4.18 and Disk Pulse Enterprise v10.4.18 contain a persistent authenticated Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability. An attacker could send malicious content to an authenticated user and steal information from their session due to insufficient validation of user input in '/edit_command?sid=', affecting the 'source_dir' and ‘dest_dir’ parameters.

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

Sync Breeze Enterprise Server v10.4.18 and Disk Pulse Enterprise v10.4.18 contain a persistent authenticated XSS vulnerability in the /edit_command endpoint. The source_dir and dest_dir parameters do not properly validate or sanitize user input, allowing stored malicious JavaScript to execute in authenticated users' browsers when the values are rendered, enabling session hijacking and information theft.

MitigationImplement strict input validation and output encoding for the source_dir and dest_dir parameters. Apply context-appropriate escaping when these values are rendered in HTML. Consider deploying Content Security Policy (CSP) headers as defense-in-depth.

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 the installed Flexense product
    Check the running services or installed programs for 'Diskpulse' or 'Syncbreeze'. The web interface typically runs on port 80/443 or configured HTTP port.
    Affected if The product is Flexense Diskpulse Enterprise or Syncbreeze Enterprise.
  2. Determine the installed version
    Access the web interface admin panel or check the executable version properties (right-click the service executable, view Details > File version). Compare against 10.4.18.
    Affected if The installed version is exactly 10.4.18.
  3. Verify the web interface is accessible
    Navigate to the application's web interface (e.g., http://hostname:port/). Check if the /edit_command endpoint exists and responds.
    Affected if The web interface and /edit_command endpoint are reachable.
  4. Confirm authentication is enabled
    Log into the web interface with valid credentials. The XSS is authenticated, meaning it requires an active session.
    Affected if Authentication is required and active for the web interface.
  5. Inspect the source_dir and dest_dir parameters
    If you have access, examine the request/response when using the /edit_command feature. Look for unsanitized rendering of these parameter values in HTML responses.
    Affected if The source_dir or dest_dir values are rendered without proper encoding in the HTML output.

You are affected if you are running Diskpulse or Syncbreeze version 10.4.18 with the web interface accessible and authentication enabled, and the source_dir or dest_dir parameters in /edit_command are rendered without sanitization.
