Stored script execution via unsanitized journal content
Published Feb 1, 2024 · Updated May 29, 2025
Stored XSS in Travel Journal Using PHP and MySQL with Source Code 1.0 allows remote attackers to run scripts in a visitor's browser. The write-journal.php handler saves the journal-content field without adequate sanitization and renders it in Read Journal, executing embedded script. Exploitation requires user interaction when a visitor opens the saved entry; the script runs in the site's origin and can access browser data available to that origin.
