CVE-2024-39090Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Account takeover via forged profile-name update

Published Jul 18, 2024 · Updated Aug 2, 2024

Stored XSS in PHPGurukul Online Shopping Portal 2.0 allows remote attackers to run JavaScript via a forged profile-update request. The profile-update endpoint accepts a cross-origin POST and stores the attacker-controlled name value for later rendering without neutralizing active markup. Exploitation requires an authenticated victim to open the attacker-controlled page; resulting script execution can expose the victim's session and enable account takeover.
