Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires (1) an authenticated Jivejdon account able to send private short messages (PR:L), and (2) the targeted recipient opening the malicious short message in their browser (UI:P), at which point receiveshortmessage.jsp renders the unfiltered message body - ToolsUtil.convertURL() does not sanitize script content. The specific feature required is the private short-message (PM) functionality; this is not exploitable against anonymous/unauthenticated users and does not fire automatically without the victim viewing the message. These factors (prior authentication plus victim interaction) meaningfully limit real-world exploitation to targeted abuse against a selected user rather than broad, unattended compromise.

Impact

This is a medium-severity stored XSS (CWE-79) with a vendor-supplied CVSS 4.0 score of 5.1, and the signals are internally consistent: the vector CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:P/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N shows a network-reachable but privilege- and interaction-gated flaw, not a drive-by. No EPSS score was provided, the CVE is not on CISA KEV, and no public exploit code is referenced - so exploitation status is 'no public exploit identified at time of analysis.' There is no SSVC decision data in the input. The practical risk is bounded: an attacker must already hold a valid authenticated account (PR:L) to send a short message, and the payload only fires when the specific recipient opens it (UI:P), making this a targeted stored-XSS against a chosen victim rather than a wormable or mass-exploitation condition. The limited VC/VI (Low) and lack of availability impact mean session/credential theft or UI manipulation in the recipient's browser is the realistic ceiling, not system compromise. Overall this is a legitimate but low-priority issue for most defenders - real but constrained, and heavily dependent on the product's small deployment footprint.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An authenticated forum user crafts a private short message whose body contains a script payload and sends it to a chosen recipient. Because receiveshortmessage.jsp renders the message body unfiltered and ToolsUtil.convertURL() passes it through unchanged, the script executes in the recipient's browser when they open the message, enabling session-cookie theft or actions as the victim. No public exploit code is identified at time of analysis, and the attack requires the recipient to actually open the message (UI:P).

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 08, 2026

Stored cross-site scripting in Jivejdon through 5.0 allows an authenticated user to embed script inside a private short message that then executes in the recipient's browser when the message is opened. The flaw is reachable over the network but gated by two prerequisites: the attacker must hold a valid account able to send private messages, and the victim must actively open the malicious message, so real-world abuse is limited to targeted attacks against a chosen user rather than unattended, broad compromise. It carries a vendor CVSS 4.0 score of 5.1 (our independent 3.1 assessment aligns at AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N), and no public exploit code or confirmed active exploitation (CISA KEV) was identified at time of analysis.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch or fixed version has been identified in the available data at time of analysis; the upstream issue tracker entry (https://github.com/banq/jivejdon/issues/28) and the VulnCheck advisory (https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/jivejdon-through-5.0-stored-xss-via-private-short-messages) should be monitored for a tagged fix, and deployments should verify the current state of the referenced source files (application/shortmessage/receiveshortmessage.jsp and ShortMessageForm.java) before assuming they are remediated. Until a patched release is confirmed, the highest-value compensating control is to fix the sink directly: HTML-entity-encode the message body at output in receiveshortmessage.jsp using an escaping encoder such as OWASP Java Encoder or JSTL <c:out>, and stop relying on ToolsUtil.convertURL() for safety, since it only rewrites URLs and does not neutralize markup - the trade-off is that existing messages containing intentional HTML formatting will render as literal text. A strict Content-Security-Policy header with script-src 'self' (no 'unsafe-inline') on the short-message view will block injected inline script as a secondary layer, at the cost of breaking any legitimate inline scripts the application relies on, so it must be tested first. If immediate code changes are not feasible, restrict the ability to send private short messages to a trusted user group via Jivejdon's permission/site configuration, or disable the private short-message feature entirely, which removes the attack path but also removes a core community capability. Note that neither prerequisite can be bypassed by an anonymous visitor: exploitation requires an authenticated account that can send private messages plus the recipient opening the message (PR:L, UI:P per the assessed vector).

Technical ContextAI · show details

The vulnerability is a classic CWE-79 improper neutralization of user input in an HTML output context, manifesting as persistent (stored) XSS within Jivejdon's private short-message feature. Message content is captured through ShortMessageForm (referenced at src/main/java/com/jdon/jivejdon/presentation/form/ShortMessageForm.java, lines 89-91) and later rendered by the JSP view receiveshortmessage.jsp (line 63). Critically, the rendering path pipes the body through ToolsUtil.convertURL(), a helper intended to auto-link URLs; it transforms URL-like text but performs no HTML-entity encoding, so markup such as script tags survives intact into the response. Because the payload is persisted with the message and re-rendered on each view, every subsequent render is an execution opportunity for that recipient, and the scope change (S:C) reflects that script runs in the victim's session context. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:banq:jivejdon:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* indicates all published versions of the banq/jivejdon project up to and including 5.0 are in scope, as no version boundary has been published.

DescriptionCVE.org

Jivejdon through 5.0 contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability that allows authenticated attackers to inject script into private short messages because receiveshortmessage.jsp renders unfiltered message bodies. Attackers can send a short message containing script, which ToolsUtil.convertURL() passes through unchanged, to execute code in the recipient's browser when opened.
