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
In ConnectWise PSA versions older than 2026.1, Time Entry notes stored in the Time Entry Audit Trail may be rendered without applying output encoding to certain content. Under specific conditions, this may allow stored script code to execute in the context of a user’s browser when the affected content is displayed.

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

A stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in ConnectWise PSA versions prior to 2026.1. Time Entry notes stored in the Time Entry Audit Trail are rendered without proper output encoding, allowing malicious JavaScript or other script code to execute in a user's browser when the affected audit trail content is displayed.

MitigationUpgrade ConnectWise PSA to version 2026.1 or later which implements proper output encoding for Time Entry notes in the audit trail.

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 ConnectWise PSA version
    Log into the ConnectWise PSA administrative interface and navigate to System > Setup > System Administration or Help > About. Alternatively, check the installation directory for a version file or query the database for the system information table containing the version number.
    Affected if The installed version is any release prior to 2026.1 (for example, 2025.x, 2024.x, or earlier)
  2. Verify Time Entry module is accessible
    Navigate to Time > Time Entries or look for Time Entry-related menu items in the PSA interface. Confirm the Time Entry functionality is enabled for your organization.
    Affected if The Time Entry module is enabled and users have access to create or view time entries
  3. Check Time Entry Audit Trail access
    Locate the Audit Trail feature within the Time Entry section. This may be found under Time > Reporting > Audit Trail or within individual time entry records. Verify that users can view historical time entry records.
    Affected if The Time Entry Audit Trail feature is accessible and displays historical time entry records including notes
  4. Identify if custom output encoding is applied
    Inspect the web application response when viewing Time Entry Audit Trail notes. Check for HTML-encoded characters (for example, &lt;script&gt; instead of <script>, &amp; instead of &) in the displayed notes.
    Affected if Notes containing special characters appear as raw HTML/JavaScript without encoding (for example, <script> appears as <script> rather than &lt;script&gt;)

You are affected if your ConnectWise PSA version is prior to 2026.1 AND the Time Entry Audit Trail feature is accessible, as notes are rendered without proper output encoding allowing script execution.
