Browser code execution via unsanitized rol parameter
Published Feb 6, 2025 · Updated Feb 11, 2025
Cross-site scripting in Gilnei Moraes phpABook 0.9 allows remote attackers to execute JavaScript via the rol parameter in index.php. index.php reflects the unvalidated, unsanitized rol value into the rendered page, causing the browser to interpret injected markup as script. Exploitation requires a user to open a crafted URL; the script then runs in the application's origin with access to the victim's available data and actions.
