| Title | Yash Pokharna StudentManagementSystem 1.0 Stored Cross-Site Scripting |
|---|
| Description | The student.php script directly outputs student names (e.g., the FIRST_NAME field) retrieved from the database into an HTML <td> element without any sanitisation or encoding.
When combined with Vulnerability #2 (unauthorised data insertion), an attacker can insert a malicious JavaScript payload into the student name field. Subsequently, any user (including an administrator) who visits the student.php page will execute the embedded script, potentially leading to session hijacking, cookie theft, or privilege escalation. |
