CVE-2026-9417Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Browser script execution via unescaped profile ID

Published May 25, 2026 · Updated May 25, 2026

Reflected XSS in myprofileup.php in Code Projects Employee Management System 1.0 allows remote attackers to execute script via a crafted ID. The endpoint copies the ID query value into href and hidden-input attributes without HTML-attribute encoding, allowing a quote to terminate the attribute and introduce a script element. A victim must open the crafted URL; the script then runs in the application's origin and can alter the rendered page or issue requests with the victim's session.
