CVE-2023-1356Network attack vector

Session hijacking via reflected StudentSearch input

Published Oct 25, 2023 · Updated Sep 17, 2024

Reflected XSS in IDAttend IDWeb's StudentSearch component through 3.1.052 allows remote attackers to hijack browser sessions via malicious links. The publisher identifies StudentSearch but does not disclose the affected parameter or the output-encoding operation that fails to neutralize it. Exploitation requires a user to follow an attacker-supplied link; script then runs in that user's IDWeb browsing context and can take over the session.
