Session hijacking via stored News Title script
Published Apr 13, 2026 · Updated Apr 13, 2026
Stored XSS in Code Projects Simple Content Management System 1.0 allows remote authenticated users to execute JavaScript in visitors' browsers. The admin form stores the News Title without sanitizing it, and the public index page renders the value as executable markup. Administrator access is required to plant the payload; any visitor who loads the index page triggers it, enabling cookie theft and session hijacking.
