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
The Site Editor (aka SiteBuilder) feature in Parallels Plesk Small Business Panel 10.2.0 has web pages containing e-mail addresses that are not intended for correspondence about the local application deployment, which allows remote attackers to obtain potentially sensitive information by reading a page, as demonstrated by js/Wizard/Status.js and certain other files.

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

The Site Editor (SiteBuilder) feature in Parallels Plesk Small Business Panel 10.2.0 exposes email addresses in publicly accessible web JavaScript files (such as js/Wizard/Status.js) that were not intended for external correspondence. This information disclosure vulnerability allows remote attackers to harvest these email addresses through direct page access.

MitigationRemove or obfuscate the unintended email addresses from SiteBuilder JavaScript files, or disable the SiteBuilder feature if not required. Audit other SiteBuilder files for similar exposure.

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. Confirm Plesk Small Business Panel version
    Check the installed version of Parallels Plesk Small Business Panel. This is typically visible in the admin interface or can be retrieved via the Plesk command line utility: 'plesk --version' or through the admin panel's system information page.
    Affected if The installed version is Parallels Plesk Small Business Panel 10.2.0 exactly.
  2. Verify SiteBuilder feature is installed
    Check if the SiteBuilder (Site Editor) module is installed on the panel. This can be verified by reviewing the available modules in the Plesk admin interface or by checking for SiteBuilder-related directories in the web root.
    Affected if SiteBuilder is installed and enabled on the panel.
  3. Locate the vulnerable JavaScript file
    Access the file path js/Wizard/Status.js within the SiteBuilder web directory. The typical location would be under the SiteBuilder web root, for example: /usr/local/psa/admin/htdocs/domains/datapacks/xml/sitebuilder/js/Wizard/Status.js or similar paths under the web document root.
    Affected if The file js/Wizard/Status.js exists in the SiteBuilder web-accessible directory.
  4. Inspect for exposed email addresses
    Open the Status.js file and search for email address patterns (strings containing '@' and domain extensions). Review the content for any email addresses that were not intended for public disclosure.
    Affected if The file contains one or more email addresses that are visible in the publicly accessible JavaScript file.

A user is affected if they are running exactly version 10.2.0 of Parallels Plesk Small Business Panel with the SiteBuilder feature installed, and the JavaScript files in SiteBuilder's web directory contain exposed email addresses.
