Published May 25, 2026 · Updated May 25, 2026
Reflected XSS in Code Projects Employee Management System 1.0 allows remote attackers to inject browser script through the id parameter. myprofile.php copies the GET id value into navigation-link href attributes and a hidden-input value without HTML escaping. No authentication is required, but a victim must open the crafted URL; the script then runs in that victim's application origin.
