Lifecycle Timeline
4DescriptionCVE.org
A vulnerability was determined in SourceCodester Class and Exam Timetabling System 1.0. The affected element is an unknown function of the file /forsubject.php. This manipulation of the argument subject causes cross site scripting. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The exploit has been publicly disclosed and may be utilized.
AnalysisAI
Reflected cross-site scripting in SourceCodester Class and Exam Timetabling System 1.0 allows remote unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary JavaScript via the unsanitized subject parameter in /forsubject.php. A victim user must interact with a crafted URL for the payload to execute in their browser. A public proof-of-concept exploit is available on GitHub, increasing the likelihood of opportunistic exploitation against deployed instances.
Technical ContextAI
The affected product is a PHP-based academic scheduling web application distributed by SourceCodester (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:sourcecodester:class_and_exam_timetabling_system:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*). CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation - 'Cross-site Scripting') identifies the root cause: the subject parameter passed to /forsubject.php is reflected into HTML output without adequate escaping or sanitization. This is consistent with typical PHP applications that lack centralized output encoding. The attack surface is the web application's HTTP layer, accessible from any network-reachable client. The CVSS 4.0 E:P metric confirms proof-of-concept code has been published.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch or updated version has been identified at the time of this analysis - patch status is unconfirmed, and no official advisory was located at the SourceCodester site. The primary remediation for operators is to apply output encoding to the subject parameter before rendering it in HTML responses (e.g., using PHP's htmlspecialchars() with ENT_QUOTES), and to validate or sanitize all user-supplied input server-side. As a compensating control, deploying a Content Security Policy (CSP) header that restricts inline script execution will substantially reduce exploitability even if the underlying flaw persists - note this may break legitimate inline scripts if present. Restricting access to the application to trusted internal networks or requiring authentication before accessing /forsubject.php would eliminate remote unauthenticated exploitation entirely but requires architectural changes.
