CVE-2026-50701
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 · uneditedA Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in Frappe Framework version 17.0.0-dev due to improper neutralization of user-controlled input in the dashboard-view component.
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 confidenceA reflected XSS vulnerability exists in Frappe Framework version 17.0.0-dev within the dashboard-view component. User-controlled input is improperly neutralized, allowing malicious scripts to be injected and executed in the context of other users' browsers when they access the crafted URL.

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 if Frappe Framework is in useCheck your application's tech stack or look for Frappe-related files, processes, or services running in your environmentAffected if Frappe Framework is not present - you are not affected by this CVE
-
Check Frappe Framework versionLocate the Frappe installation and determine the exact version number, typically found in version files, package.json, or via frappe --version CLI commandAffected if The installed version is 17.0.0-dev - you are directly affected; versions other than 17.0.0-dev are not affected by this specific vulnerability
-
Determine if dashboard-view component is enabledCheck if the dashboard-view component is accessible or enabled in your Frappe instance configuration or routing setupAffected if Dashboard-view is not in use or disabled - the attack surface may not be accessible even if on the affected version
-
Inspect URL handling in dashboard-viewExamine how the dashboard-view component processes URL parameters and user input - look for any parameters that get rendered back into the page without encodingAffected if User-supplied parameters in the URL are reflected in the dashboard-view output without proper escaping - you are vulnerable to reflected XSS
You are affected only if you have Frappe Framework version 17.0.0-dev with the dashboard-view component enabled and accessible, where URL parameters are reflected without proper encoding.

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 dataImplement proper input validation and output encoding/escaping in the dashboard-view component to ensure user-supplied data is safely rendered without executing as JavaScript.
