Stored script execution via department name
Published Dec 7, 2022 · Updated Apr 23, 2025
Stored XSS in Online Leave Management System 1.0 allows remote authenticated users to run scripts in a victim's browser via a department name. The save_department request accepts a script-bearing Name value, stores it, and the department-list page renders that value as executable markup rather than text. Exploitation requires administrative access to create a department and user interaction when another authenticated user opens the list; the demonstrated consequence is script execution and cookie access in that browser.
