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 G5Theme Wolverine Framework wolverine-framework allows Reflected XSS.This issue affects Wolverine Framework: from n/a through <= 1.9.

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

Reflected XSS vulnerability in G5Theme's Wolverine Framework allows attackers to inject malicious JavaScript through unsanitized user inputs that get reflected in web pages without proper output encoding, enabling session hijacking or credential theft.

MitigationImplement context-aware output encoding and input validation/sanitization across all user-controlled input points in the web application.

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 Wolverine Framework installation
    Search your codebase or dependencies for 'Wolverine Framework', 'g5-wolverine', or related G5Theme package references. Check package.json, composer.json, or framework configuration files for the framework name.
    Affected if Wolverine Framework from G5Theme is present in the environment
  2. Locate user input handling code
    Search source files for request parameter retrieval (e.g., $_GET, $_POST, request.params, request.query) that are then output directly to HTML templates or responses without visible encoding functions.
    Affected if User-supplied parameters are retrieved and rendered without evident sanitization or encoding
  3. Check template files for unencoded output
    Inspect template files (.twig, .php, .jsp, .html) for variables outputting request data using syntax like {{variable}} or <%=variable%> without context-aware encoding functions such as htmlspecialchars(), escape(), or similar.
    Affected if Templates render user input directly without applying output encoding
  4. Test for reflected XSS manually
    Submit a harmless test payload like <script>alert('XSS')</script> or <img src=x onerror=alert('XSS')> as a query parameter or form input to your application's endpoints, then inspect the response HTML to see if the payload is rendered as-is.
    Affected if The test payload executes or appears unescaped in the response page

A user is affected if G5Theme's Wolverine Framework is in use AND user-provided input is reflected in web pages without output encoding, allowing the XSS payload to render unescaped in the browser.
