Published Oct 27, 2025 · Updated Oct 27, 2025
Stored XSS in Projectworlds Expense Management System 1.0 allows remote authenticated users to execute scripts via currency fields. The currency creation form stores Title, Symbol, and formatting values without sanitization, and affected views render them without output encoding. High-privilege access is required to create the record, and another user must view or print the compromised page for the script to run in that user's browser context.
