CVE-2025-59901 is a high-severity cross-site request forgery vulnerability in Sync Breeze Enterprise Server from Flexense, with a CVSS 4.0 base score of 8.5 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an attacker with a low-privileged account, but only if a user takes part, for example by opening a link or file. Affected Sync Breeze Enterprise Server versions: v10.4.18. The record does not name a fixed version, so check the vendor advisory. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.19% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.
High severity with no evidence of exploitation so far.
What to do
- Check which version of Sync Breeze Enterprise Server you run against the affected versions below, and install the vendor's latest release.

Official description
Disk Pulse Enterprise v10.4.18 has an authenticated reflected XSS vulnerability in the '/monitor_directory?sid=' endpoint, caused by insufficient validation of the 'monitor_directory' parameter sent by POST. An attacker could exploit this weakness to send malicious content to an authenticated user and steal information from their session.
Source: the CVE record as published by its numbering authority, via NVD and CVE.org.
The underlying weakness: Cross-Site Request Forgery
The web application does not, or cannot, sufficiently verify whether a request was intentionally provided by the user who sent the request, which could have originated from an unauthorized actor.
How developers prevent this class of flaw
- Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid. For example, use anti-CSRF packages such as the OWASP CSRFGuard. Another example is the ESAPI Session Management control, which includes a component for CSRF.
- Ensure that the application is free of cross-site scripting issues (CWE-79), because most CSRF defenses can be bypassed using attacker-controlled script.
- Generate a unique nonce for each form, place the nonce into the form, and verify the nonce upon receipt of the form. Be sure that the nonce is not predictable (CWE-330).
Timeline
