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
Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') vulnerability in RiceTheme Felan Framework allows Reflected XSS. This issue affects Felan Framework: from n/a through 1.1.3.

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 · moderate confidence

A reflected XSS vulnerability exists in RiceTheme Felan Framework versions up to 1.1.3 where user-supplied input is improperly neutralized during web page generation, allowing attackers to inject malicious scripts that execute in the victim's browser.

MitigationImplement proper input validation and output encoding/escaping for all user-supplied data before rendering in web pages. Use context-aware encoding libraries appropriate to the output location (HTML, JavaScript, URL, etc.).

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. Identify if RiceTheme Felan Framework is installed
    Search for files or directories containing 'felan' or 'ricetheme' in the web application root directory, or check the application's framework identification files.
    Affected if The RiceTheme Felan Framework is present in the environment
  2. Determine the installed version of Felan Framework
    Check version information in framework configuration files, such as version.php, info.json, or any file containing 'felan' and a version number within the framework directory.
    Affected if The installed version is 1.1.3 or lower (any version up to and including 1.1.3)
  3. Confirm web-facing input handling is enabled
    Identify if the application processes user-supplied input through web request parameters (GET/POST) that are reflected in HTML responses without server-side processing.
    Affected if User input from HTTP requests is directly used in web page generation without sanitization
  4. Inspect the application's input handling code
    Examine the source code files responsible for processing user input and rendering output in web pages, looking for instances where request parameters are echoed directly into HTML without encoding.
    Affected if User-supplied parameters are rendered in HTML output without proper output encoding or escaping

The environment is affected if RiceTheme Felan Framework version 1.1.3 or lower is installed and processes user input in web page generation without sanitization.
