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
Frappe is a full-stack web application framework. Prior to versions 15.106.0 and 16.16.0, stored XSS in Note was possible due to lack of sanitization. This issue has been patched in versions 15.106.0 and 16.16.0.

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 confidence

MitigationUpgrade Frappe to version 15.106.0 or 16.16.0 which includes the patch for input sanitization in the Note feature.

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. Check installed Frappe version
    Retrieve the current Frappe framework version using the bench command-line tool (e.g., bench version) or via the system information interface
    Affected if The installed version is below 15.106.0 or below 16.16.0 (if running version 16)
  2. Confirm Note feature is accessible
    Verify the Note module is enabled and accessible to users in the Frappe system settings or by attempting to access the Notes list view
    Affected if The Note module is enabled and users can create or view notes
  3. Review existing notes for unsanitized content
    Examine stored Note records in the database or through the Notes interface for presence of raw HTML tags, script tags, or JavaScript event handlers in the content
    Affected if Notes contain unescaped HTML or script elements that would execute when viewed

The environment is affected if the installed Frappe version is below 15.106.0 or 16.16.0 and the Note feature is active with user-created content that may contain unsanitized 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.

Mitigation available No clean upgrade yet — mitigate in the meantime
Mitigation

Upgrade Frappe to version 15.106.0 or 16.16.0 which includes the patch for input sanitization in the Note feature.

Recommended fix High confidence

15.106.0 (for v15) or 16.16.0 (for v16)

  1. Identify current Frappe version (bench version command or check bench_manager)
  2. If running Frappe version 15.x, upgrade to version 15.106.0
  3. If running Frappe version 16.x, upgrade to version 16.16.0
  4. Run bench migrate after upgrading to apply database changes
  5. Clear cache (bench clear-cache)
  6. Test Note functionality to verify the XSS fix is working
