Browser script execution via crafted administrator fields
Published May 9, 2025 · Updated May 16, 2025
Cross-site scripting in SourceCodester Online Student Clearance System 1.0 allows remote authenticated users to execute browser scripts. The /admin/add-admin.php handler accepts crafted txtusername, txtfullname, txtpassword, and txtpassword2 values without documented output neutralization; public records do not disclose the precise rendering context. High-privilege access and a victim viewing the injected content are required, bounding the impact to attacker-controlled actions in that browser context.
