Administrator session compromise via unescaped submission input
Published Nov 17, 2022 · Updated Apr 29, 2025
Stored cross-site scripting in Hustoj 22.09.22 allows remote attackers to execute script in an administrator's browser via crafted input. The problem_judge.php handler directly echoes the stored input_text field at line 138 without output encoding or neutralization. An administrator must be induced to open the crafted judging request; the resulting same-origin script can act through the administrator session, including changing privileges.
