Browser script execution via reflected request inputs
Published May 15, 2026 · Updated May 15, 2026
Reflected XSS in PHP Timeclock 1.04 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript in users' browsers via crafted requests. The login.php, timeclock.php, audit.php, timerpt.php, and total_hours.php handlers return URL-path suffixes or from_date and to_date values into HTML without neutralizing executable markup. No account is required, but a user must open the crafted reflected-XSS response; the script then runs in that site's browser context.
