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
Hotel Management v1.0 is vulnerable to multiple authenticated Reflected Cross-Site Scripting vulnerabilities. The 'check_in_date' parameter of the reservation.php resource is copied into the HTML document as plain text between tags. Any input is echoed unmodified in the application's response.

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

Hotel Management v1.0 contains a reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in reservation.php. The 'check_in_date' parameter accepts user input that is directly embedded into the HTML response without sanitization or encoding, allowing execution of arbitrary JavaScript in the context of the user's browser.

MitigationImplement proper input validation and HTML entity encoding for the check_in_date parameter before reflecting it in the HTML response. Consider using a framework-provided output encoding mechanism or a vetted sanitization library.

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 Hotel Management System version
    Locate and inspect the application files or any version information file (such as README, version.txt, or the application header) to determine if the installed version is 1.0
    Affected if The installed version is Jayesh Hotel Management System 1.0
  2. Locate reservation.php file
    Search the web root directory for the file reservation.php, typically found in the public-facing web directory of the application
    Affected if reservation.php exists in the application directory
  3. Inspect check_in_date parameter handling
    Open reservation.php and search for the check_in_date parameter to see how it is processed and whether it is directly output into the HTML response
    Affected if The check_in_date parameter is retrieved and echoed back without sanitization functions such as htmlspecialchars, htmlentities, or equivalent encoding
  4. Verify absence of input sanitization
    Examine the code around the check_in_date parameter to confirm there is no input validation, sanitization, or output encoding applied before reflecting the value
    Affected if No sanitization or encoding functions are applied to check_in_date before it appears in the HTML output

A user is affected if they are running Hotel Management System version 1.0 and the reservation.php file reflects the check_in_date parameter directly into HTML without sanitization.
