An incorrect implementation of "XEP-0280: Message Carbons" in multiple XMPP clients allows a remote attacker to impersonate any user, including contacts, in the vulnerable application's display. This allows for various kinds of social engineering attacks. This CVE is for Movim 0.8 - 0.10.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Movim 0.8 through 0.10 can display forged XMPP Message Carbon content as if it came from another user, including a trusted contact. The main business risk is social engineering: users may trust misleading chat content and take unsafe actions. Exposure is likely limited to organizations or users running Movim 0.8, 0.9, or 0.10 with XMPP Message Carbons enabled or processed. The bundle does not identify other products under CVE-2017-5605. Treat this as a targeted trust and social engineering risk rather than infrastructure compromise. Prioritize remediation where Movim supports sensitive business conversations, administrative coordination, or customer support workflows. Mitigation focus: Inventory Movim deployments and identify versions 0.8 through 0.10.; Review Movim and moxl guidance for corrected Message Carbons handling.; Update away from affected Movim versions where vendor fixes are available..
