CVE-2026-25025
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 · uneditedImproper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') vulnerability in e4jvikwp VikRestaurants vikrestaurants allows Reflected XSS.This issue affects VikRestaurants: from n/a through <= 1.5.2.
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 confidenceVikRestaurants plugin versions up to 1.5.2 contain a reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability where user-supplied input is not properly neutralized before being rendered in web pages, allowing attackers to inject malicious scripts via crafted URLs.

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.
-
Locate the VikRestaurants plugin installationSearch the web server filesystem for the VikRestaurants plugin directory. For Joomla, check /plugins/system/vikrestaurants or /administrator/components/com_vikrestaurants. Use: find / -type d -name 'vikrestaurants' 2>/dev/nullAffected if The plugin directory exists and contains plugin files, indicating the software is installed
-
Determine the installed versionOpen the plugin manifest XML file (typically xml/install.xml or manifest.xml) within the plugin directory and read the <version> tag, or access the Joomla administrator panel: Extensions > Manage > Search for 'VikRestaurants' and view the version columnAffected if The displayed version number is 1.5.2 or lower
-
Identify web-accessible entry pointsReview the plugin PHP files in the front-end directories (site/ or controllers/) for parameters received via $_GET, $_POST, or $_REQUEST that are directly output to HTML without apparent sanitization functions such as htmlspecialchars() or JHtml::_('behavior.framework')Affected if User-supplied input parameters are echoed back to the page without encoding
-
Test for reflected XSS in URL parametersCraft a test URL pointing to a VikRestaurants page with a malicious parameter value such as ?testparam=<script>alert('XSS')</script> and request it in a browser. If the script tag executes, the vulnerability is presentAffected if The injected script executes in the browser, confirming unsanitized input reflection
-
Verify input handling in source codeGrep the plugin PHP files for instances where request variables are concatenated directly into HTML output. Use: grep -rn '\$_GET\|\$_REQUEST\|\$_POST' /path/to/vikrestaurants/*.php and check if results are passed through escaping functions before outputAffected if Request parameters are output to HTML without passing through htmlspecialchars() or equivalent encoding functions
You are affected if VikRestaurants plugin is installed with version 1.5.2 or lower AND user-supplied input from URLs can be reflected in web pages without proper sanitization.

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.
From vendor dataApply context-aware output encoding/escaping to all user-supplied input before rendering in HTML, and implement input validation at entry points.
