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
Group-Office is an enterprise customer relationship management and groupware tool. In versions 6.8.148 and below, and 25.0.1 through 25.0.79, the application stores unsanitized filenames in the database, which can lead to Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS). Users who interact with these specially crafted file names within the Group-Office application are affected. While the scope is limited to the file-viewing context, it could still be used to interfere with user sessions or perform unintended actions in the browser. This issue is fixed in versions 6.8.149 and 25.0.80.

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
How this class of weakness works · CWE-20

The application accepts input without confirming it is well-formed or within expected bounds, so malformed data can push the program into states its author never anticipated. Attackers probe these gaps to trigger crashes, bypass logic, or feed tainted values into more dangerous operations downstream. Remediating it well means validating and normalising every input at the boundary against a strict allow-list — not merely filtering known-bad values.

Recommended fix High confidence

Upgrade to Group-Office 6.8.149 (for 6.x branch) or 25.0.80 (for 25.x branch) or later

  1. Identify the currently installed Group-Office version using the administration panel or system information
  2. If running version 6.x (6.8.148 or below): Plan upgrade to version 6.8.149 or later
  3. If running version 25.x (25.0.1 through 25.0.79): Plan upgrade to version 25.0.80 or later
  4. Review release notes and backup the current installation and database before upgrading
  5. Perform the upgrade following the official Group-Office upgrade documentation
  6. Verify the upgrade was successful and the application functions correctly
  7. Confirm that filenames are now properly sanitized when stored
