CVE-2026-9418Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Reflected XSS via unescaped ID attribute injection

Published May 25, 2026 · Updated May 25, 2026

Reflected XSS in changepassemp.php in Code Projects Employee Management System 1.0 allows remote attackers to execute script via the ID parameter. The page inserts the ID query value into navigation-link href attributes without HTML escaping, allowing a quote to introduce an event handler. A victim must open the crafted URL and trigger the injected handler; script then runs in the application's browser origin and can modify displayed content or issue requests with the victim's session.
