CVE-2024-0286Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Stored XSS via unescaped contact-form fields

Published Jan 7, 2024 · Updated Jun 17, 2025

Stored XSS in PHPGurukul Hospital Management System in PHP 1.0 allows remote attackers to execute script via contact-form fields. The contact handler accepts Name, Email, and Message values and later renders the saved query to the administrative view without neutralizing HTML or script content. Submission is unauthenticated, but execution requires an administrator to view the stored contact query, exposing that browser session to attacker-supplied script.
