CVE-2024-1024Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Script execution via unsanitized account names

Published Jan 30, 2024 · Updated Oct 18, 2024

Cross-site scripting in the New Account handler in SourceCodester Facebook News Feed Like 1.0 allows remote attackers to execute script. The handler accepts crafted First Name and Last Name values and renders them without neutralizing script markup, causing injected code to execute in a viewer's browser. Exploitation requires a victim to view an affected account name; public records disagree on whether submitting that name requires authentication.
