Account takeover via stored System Information script
Published May 13, 2024 · Updated Feb 13, 2025
Stored XSS in SourceCodester Computer Laboratory Management System 1.0 allows remote attackers to execute scripts in users' browsers. The classes/SystemSettings.php update_settings handler accepts the multipart name value for System Information, stores it, and later renders it without effective validation or output encoding. Execution requires a user to load the affected page; script access to session cookies enables account takeover.
