CVE-2026-20711
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 vulnerability exists in E-mail function of Cybozu Garoon 5.0.0 to 6.0.3, which may allow an attacker to reset arbitrary users’ passwords.
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 confidenceCross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the E-mail function of Cybozu Garoon versions 5.0.0 through 6.0.3 allows injection of malicious scripts. Successful exploitation can lead to manipulation of password reset flows, potentially enabling attackers to reset arbitrary user passwords.

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.
-
Verify Cybozu Garoon is installedIdentify the installed application - confirm it is Cybozu Garoon by checking the product name in the system information or administration consoleAffected if The application is not Cybozu Garoon, then this CVE does not apply
-
Check installed versionAccess the system administration panel or version information page to determine the exact version number of Cybozu GaroonAffected if The version is 5.0.0 or higher but lower than 6.0.3 - this indicates the environment falls within the affected range
-
Confirm E-mail function is enabledNavigate to the system settings or module configuration in the administration console and verify whether the E-mail function module is active and accessible to usersAffected if The E-mail function is enabled and accessible - this is the specific component where the XSS vulnerability exists
-
Verify user access to password reset flowsCheck if standard users have access to password reset functionality through the E-mail function, which is the attack vector for password manipulationAffected if Users can access password reset via email - combined with the vulnerable version and enabled email function, this creates the exploitation path described in the CVE
The environment is affected if Cybozu Garoon version is between 5.0.0 and 6.0.3 inclusive and the E-mail function is enabled and accessible to users.

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.
dbcve · scoped6.0.3
Upgrade to a patched version of Cybozu Garoon; if no patch available, sanitize all email function inputs, implement output encoding, and consider disabling the email function until resolved.
Garoon 6.0.3 or later

- 4. Stop the Garoon service before beginning the upgrade process.
- 5. Run the upgrade installer for Garoon 6.0.3 or later.
- 6. Verify the upgrade was successful by checking the Garoon administration screen.
- 7. Test the E-mail function to confirm the XSS vulnerability has been remediated.
