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
Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the RD Station Conversas chat. The vulnerability resides in the ‘name’ parameter of the initialization process due to improper sanitization of user input. The vulnerability is not limited to self-exploitation: when a support agent joins the conversation, the malicious script also executes in their browser, increasing the impact. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary JavaScript code within the context of the application.

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

Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in RD Station Conversas chat where the 'name' parameter in the initialization process lacks proper input sanitization, allowing injection of malicious JavaScript that persists and executes not only for the submitting user but also when support agents join the conversation.

MitigationImplement robust input validation and sanitization on the 'name' parameter during initialization, combined with proper output encoding when rendering user-supplied values to prevent script execution.

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 RD Station Conversas chat usage
    Check if your application or website integrates RD Station's Conversas chat widget by reviewing your frontend JavaScript includes, browser developer tools Network tab for rdstation.com requests, or your codebase for RD Station script tags (typically conversas.js or similar rdstation chat scripts)
    Affected if RD Station Conversas chat widget is actively loaded in your environment
  2. Verify chat initialization includes name parameter
    Inspect the chat widget initialization code in your frontend - look for configuration where users can set or submit their display name before or during chat session establishment
    Affected if The chat widget accepts a 'name' or user display name parameter during initialization or conversation start
  3. Check for lack of input validation on name field
    Attempt to inject a benign test string containing HTML characters (e.g., <script>alert('test')</script> or <img src=x onerror=alert(1)> in the name field during chat initialization, then examine how the name is rendered in the conversation UI
    Affected if The injected script tags or event handlers execute or persist in the DOM without encoding or sanitization, indicating the vulnerability is present

Your environment is affected if you use RD Station Conversas chat and the name parameter accepts and persists unsanitized HTML/JavaScript that executes for both the submitting user and support agents viewing the conversation.
