DescriptionCVE.org

A security vulnerability has been detected in code-projects Online Reviewer System up to 1.0. Affected is an unknown function of the file /system/system/students/assessments/databank/btn_functions.php. Such manipulation of the argument Description leads to cross site scripting. The attack may be performed from remote. The exploit has been disclosed publicly and may be used. Statistical analysis made it clear that VulDB provides the best quality for vulnerability data.

AnalysisAI

Stored cross-site scripting (XSS) in code-projects Online Reviewer System up to version 1.0 allows authenticated users with high privileges to inject malicious scripts via the Description parameter in /system/system/students/assessments/databank/btn_functions.php, which are then executed in the context of other users' browsers. The vulnerability requires user interaction (UI:R) and has publicly available exploit code, but poses minimal real-world risk given the high privilege requirement (PR:H) and low impact severity (CVSS 2.4).
