Administrator session theft via stored email script
Published Jun 6, 2025 · Updated Jun 9, 2025
Stored XSS in SourceCodester Student Result Management System 1.0 allows remote authenticated users to execute script in an administrator’s browser. The update_profile endpoint stores an Academic Teacher’s crafted email value and later renders it without output encoding on the Academic Account page. Academic Teacher access is required, and an administrator must view the affected account; successful exploitation exposes the administrator’s session cookie and privileges.
