Published Sep 18, 2025 · Updated Sep 18, 2025

Cross-site scripting in wangchenyi1996 chat_forum q.php allows remote authenticated users to alter rendered content through a crafted path parameter. The page checks whether the supplied path names a directory, then inserts the raw value into img src, title, and alt attributes without HTML encoding. Exploitation requires low-privileged access and a victim to open the crafted page; the published assessments report integrity impact only.
