CVE-2026-9527Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Browser script execution via unencoded fname output

Published May 26, 2026 · Updated May 26, 2026

Cross-site scripting in /admin/judges.php in itsourcecode.com Electronic Judging System 1.0 allows remote attackers to run browser script. The page writes the attacker-controlled fname parameter into its HTML response without output encoding or filtering, so injected markup executes as script. Exploitation requires a user to load the crafted response; successful script runs in that user's application session and can perform unauthorized browser actions.
