Script execution via unencoded search input
Published Aug 16, 2021 · Updated Aug 4, 2024
Cross-site scripting in SourceCodester Online Catering Reservation System allows remote authenticated users to execute script via search input. The search feature places attacker-controlled search text into the results page without HTML output encoding, causing a browser to interpret injected markup as executable script. Exploitation requires attacker authentication and victim interaction; the script runs in the affected site's browser context and can read or alter session-accessible data.
