Stored script execution via unsanitized profile name
Published Aug 8, 2023 · Updated Jul 9, 2026
Stored XSS in PHPGurukul Online Nurse Hiring System 1.0 allows remote authenticated users to run script in an administrator's browser. The /admin/profile.php page accepts the fullname parameter, stores the supplied markup, and renders it during a later visit without neutralizing script tags. Administrator access is required, and the public proof of concept demonstrates execution only when the same profile page is revisited.
