CVE-2024-24812
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 · uneditedFrappe is a full-stack web application framework that uses Python and MariaDB on the server side and a tightly integrated client side library. Prior to versions 14.59.0 and 15.5.0, portal pages are susceptible to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) which can be used to inject malicious JS code if user clicks on a malicious link. This vulnerability has been patched in versions 14.59.0 and 15.5.0. No known workarounds are available.
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 confidenceFrappe web application framework contains a Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in portal pages in versions prior to 14.59.0 and 15.5.0. Attackers can craft malicious links that, when clicked by users, execute arbitrary JavaScript code in the victim's browser session.

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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify Frappe installationRun 'bench version' in the Frappe bench directory, or check the 'frappe' Python package version using 'pip show frappe'Affected if Frappe is not installed or cannot be determined
-
Determine installed Frappe versionRun 'bench version' or check the version file in your Frappe installation (typically in the sites directory or via Frappe's built-in version check)Affected if Installed version is below 14.59.0 or is 15.x but below 15.5.0
-
Verify portal pages are accessibleCheck if the portal feature is enabled by navigating to any /app/portal or /web page endpoint, or by checking the Portal Settings in Frappe (accessible via: Setup > Portal Settings)Affected if Portal pages are enabled and accessible to users
-
Confirm web framework handlingReview server logs or browser developer console for any reflected URL parameters in portal pages that might be vulnerable to script injectionAffected if URL parameters are reflected in portal page content without proper sanitization
A user is affected if they are running Frappe versions below 14.59.0 or between 15.0.0 and 15.5.0 (exclusive), and the portal feature is enabled allowing external users to access portal pages.

dbcve · scoped14.59.015.5.0
Upgrade Frappe to version 14.59.0 or 15.5.0 to patch the XSS vulnerability. No workarounds are available.
14.59.0 (for 14.x line) or 15.5.0 (for 15.x line)
- Identify the current Frappe version in use (e.g., via bench version or version.py)
- If running Frappe version 14.x: upgrade to version 14.59.0
- If running Frappe version 15.x: upgrade to version 15.5.0
- Run database migrations after upgrade using: bench migrate
- Clear cache: bench clear-cache
- Verify the upgrade was successful and test portal functionality
