CVE-2025-13577Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Stored script injection via cdetails complaint field

Published Nov 24, 2025 · Updated Feb 24, 2026

Stored cross-site scripting in PHPGurukul Hostel Management System 2.1 allows remote authenticated users to inject browser script. The register-complaint.php complaint handler accepts the cdetails value for persistent display, but the public record does not identify the exact storage or output operation that fails to neutralize script markup. A student account and a later complaint view are required, and the published assessment limits the demonstrated consequence to page-content modification.
