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
Contributor Cross Site Scripting (XSS) in Neve PRO <= 3.1.2 versions.

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.

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 Neve PRO version via WordPress admin
    Navigate to WordPress admin > Plugins (or Appearance > Themes for theme mode) > locate Neve PRO and view the version number displayed
    Affected if Version displayed is 3.1.2 or lower
  2. Check Neve PRO version via plugin/theme file header
    Access the main Neve PRO plugin file (typically wp-content/plugins/neve-pro-addon/) or theme directory and open the main PHP file to find the 'Version:' comment header
    Affected if Version comment shows 3.1.2 or lower
  3. Identify Contributor-level user accounts
    In WordPress admin, go to Users > All Users and review the role column for any users assigned the Contributor role
    Affected if At least one user with Contributor role exists on the site
  4. Verify Neve PRO is active
    Confirm the Neve PRO add-on or theme is currently active on the WordPress site via Plugins or Themes admin page
    Affected if Neve PRO is active and version is 3.1.2 or below with Contributor users present

User is affected if Neve PRO version is 3.1.2 or below AND the site has active Contributor-level users who could inject stored XSS into content.
