Cross-site scripting via student_id parameter
Published Nov 2, 2023 · Updated Feb 27, 2025
Cross-site scripting in Campcodes Simple Student Information System 1.0 allows remote attackers to execute script via the student_id parameter in manage_academic.php. The endpoint reflects untrusted student_id input into generated web content without adequate output neutralization, allowing attacker-controlled script to run in a visiting user's browser. Exploitation requires a remote attacker to induce a user to load the crafted request; the stated impact is limited to browser-side integrity and confidentiality effects, with no reported service interruption.
