Stored XSS via unvalidated profile photo upload
Published Jan 2, 2026 · Updated Jan 2, 2026
Stored XSS in PHPGurukul Online Course Registration 3.0 and 3.1 allows remote authenticated users to execute JavaScript via a profile photo. The student profile upload handler copies the original photo filename into studentphoto with move_uploaded_file, without checking its extension, MIME type, or content, and admin/edit-student-profile.php renders the stored SVG or HTML. Student-level access is required, and an administrator must view or edit the affected profile before the payload executes in the administrator's browser context.
