Lifecycle Timeline
6DescriptionCVE.org
A vulnerability was detected in SourceCodester Pharmacy Sales and Inventory System 1.0. Impacted is an unknown function of the file /index.php?page=categories. Performing a manipulation of the argument ID results in cross site scripting. The attack is possible to be carried out remotely. The exploit is now public and may be used.
AnalysisAI
Reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) in SourceCodester Pharmacy Sales and Inventory System 1.0 allows remote attackers to inject malicious scripts via the ID parameter in /index.php?page=categories. The vulnerability requires user interaction (clicking a crafted link) but has publicly available exploit code and a low CVSS score (5.3) reflecting limited impact scope, with only low integrity consequences to the victim's session or data.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability is a reflected XSS flaw (CWE-79) in a PHP-based web application. The /index.php?page=categories endpoint fails to properly sanitize or encode user-supplied input in the ID parameter before rendering it in the HTTP response. When a victim visits a malicious URL containing JavaScript payload in the ID parameter, the unfiltered input is rendered directly in the browser context, allowing execution of arbitrary scripts within the victim's session. This is a classic input validation and output encoding failure in server-side PHP code, likely missing htmlspecialchars(), urlencode(), or similar sanitization functions.
RemediationAI
Update SourceCodester Pharmacy Sales and Inventory System to a patched version released by SourceCodester following this disclosure. If a patched version is not immediately available, implement HTML entity encoding on all user-supplied input before rendering in HTML context-specifically, apply PHP's htmlspecialchars() function to the ID parameter with ENT_QUOTES flag in /index.php around the categories page rendering. Additionally, implement Content Security Policy (CSP) headers (e.g., 'default-src self; script-src self') to mitigate reflected XSS even if input encoding is missed. Do NOT rely on blacklist-based sanitization (e.g., stripping '<' and '>'), as bypass techniques exist. Test the fix by attempting to inject <script>alert('XSS')</script> into the ID parameter and verifying no execution occurs.
