CVE-2025-41101
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 · uneditedHTML injection vulnerability found in Fairsketch's RISE CRM Framework v3.8.1, which consist of an HTML code injection due to lack of proper validation of user inputs by sending a POST request in parameter 'title' in'/projects/save'.
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 confidenceHTML injection vulnerability in Fairsketch RISE CRM v3.8.1 allows injection of arbitrary HTML code via the 'title' POST parameter in the /projects/save endpoint due to lack of proper input validation and output encoding.

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 RISE CRM versionLocate the version number in the application installation (typically found in the admin panel under Settings > App Info, or in a version.php/config file in the installation directory)Affected if version is 3.8.1 or any version below 3.9
-
Verify projects module is activeLog into the CRM and confirm access to the Projects section in the main navigation menuAffected if projects module is enabled and accessible to the user
-
Confirm /projects/save endpoint existsCheck if the Projects module has save/create functionality by accessing the Projects section and attempting to view or create a projectAffected if the projects save/create form is present and functional
-
Inspect project title field for injectionNavigate to Projects > Create New Project and examine the 'title' field input in the HTML source or form submissionAffected if the title field accepts raw HTML characters without sanitization (view page source to verify)
A user is affected if their RISE CRM version is below 3.9 and they have the projects module enabled, as the title field in /projects/save does not sanitize HTML input.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scoped3.9
Implement input validation and output encoding/sanitization on the 'title' parameter in the projects/save endpoint to reject or safely neutralize HTML/script content before storage and display.
3.9 or later
- Upgrade Rise Ultimate Project Manager to version 3.9 or later to resolve the HTML injection vulnerability in the '/projects/save' endpoint
- After upgrading, verify that the 'title' parameter in POST requests to '/projects/save' properly sanitizes HTML/script input
- Test the fix by attempting to inject HTML code in the 'title' field and confirm it is rendered as plain text rather than executed
