Browser script execution via unencoded student name
Published Mar 20, 2026 · Updated Mar 20, 2026
Cross-site scripting in itsourcecode.com University Management System 1.0 allows remote authenticated users to execute browser scripts. The admin_single_student_update.php endpoint writes the st_name parameter into a web page without filtering or context-appropriate output encoding. Administrative access is required to submit the value, and script execution requires another user to view the affected output, enabling browser-side content changes.
