CVE-2025-13245Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Stored script execution via unescaped firstname

Published Nov 16, 2025 · Updated Nov 17, 2025

Cross-site scripting in Code Projects Student Information System 2.0 allows remote authenticated users to execute JavaScript in users' browsers. The editprofile.php update path passes the POST firstname value through clean(), stores it in the students table, and later renders it on login without neutralizing script markup. An account and a subsequent victim login are required; successful exploitation exposes browser-accessible session data or performs actions with the victim's privileges.
