MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Initial Access, Execution The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | The specific trigger is the fname argument submitted through addnewstudent.php, which is stored and later rendered without output encoding (stored XSS). Exploitation requires (1) the ability to reach and submit the add-student form, and (2) a victim subsequently viewing the page that renders the stored fname value (UI:P / user interaction), at which point the script runs in the victim's browser. The CVSS vector marks PR:N (unauthenticated), but because addnewstudent.php is an operator/add-record function it may in practice require an authenticated session - this is not confirmed by the available sources and should be verified. Limiting factors: impact is low integrity only, a victim must view the stored content for the payload to fire, and the product is an obscure rolling-release project with no vendor patch; the only remediation path is the vendor, who has not responded. |
| Impact | This is a medium-severity stored cross-site scripting issue (CVSS 4.0 base 5.3) whose real-world urgency is modest. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:P) describes a remotely reachable, low-complexity flaw that per the vector requires no privileges but does require passive user interaction (UI:P), and the impact is limited to low integrity on the vulnerable system (VI:N confidentiality, VI:L integrity, VA:N) with no scope change. There is no EPSS score in the input, the CVE is not listed in CISA KEV, and the PoC is a reference only that is not verified as working exploit code - so none of the three strong exploitation signals (KEV, verified exploit, high EPSS) are present. The vuln.today decision label is 'this_month', i.e. a routine remediation cadence rather than act_now/emergency. One conflict to verify: the CVSS vector sets PR:N (unauthenticated), yet the sink is addnewstudent.php - an add-student function that in most deployments sits behind an operator/admin login, which would imply PR:L; the available sources do not confirm whether this page is reachable unauthenticated, so the true privilege requirement should be verified against the application. Overall this reads as a genuine but low-priority web bug in an obscure product, not a high-CVSS-but-overrated critical. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who can reach the add-student form submits a new student whose fname field contains a JavaScript payload, which the application stores without sanitization. When an administrator or other user later views the stored student data, the script executes in that victim's browser, enabling session/cookie theft or actions in the victim's context. A public PoC reference exists but is not verified as working exploit code. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 26, 2026
Stored cross-site scripting in CloudClassroom-PHP-Project allows an attacker to submit script content through the fname argument of addnewstudent.php, which is persisted and later rendered without output encoding, executing in the browser of any user who views the affected page. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 5.3 (medium), and the impact is limited to low integrity with no confidentiality or availability effect per the assessed vector. No CISA KEV listing is present and no public working exploit has been confirmed; a public PoC reference exists but is not verified as working exploit code, and the vendor was contacted about the disclosure but did not respond, so no vendor-released patch is identified at time of analysis.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch is identified at time of analysis: the project is a rolling-release codebase with no version numbers, the vendor was contacted early about the disclosure and did not respond, and the references contain no fix commit, pull request or patched build, so no fixed version can be cited. Because the disclosure is public, operators who must keep the application running should treat self-applied source changes as the primary path - adding context-appropriate output encoding (for example HTML-escaping the stored fname value at every point where it is rendered) addresses the root cause described in the reporting, but this is an operator-maintained change rather than a vendor fix and must be re-applied as the rolling release updates. Reducing exposure by restricting who can reach and submit the add-student form (placing addnewstudent.php behind an authenticated operator role or network allowlist) limits new payload injection but does not remove script content already stored in existing records, so previously submitted values must also be reviewed and cleaned. Blocking or removing the affected page entirely eliminates the stored-XSS path at the cost of losing the student-registration workflow. Given the medium severity, integrity-only impact and the requirement that a victim view the stored content, the urgency label for tracking is this_month rather than immediate action; monitoring the VulDB entry at https://vuldb.com/vuln/426165 is the only route to notice any future vendor response or fix.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The affected component is a PHP web application (CloudClassroom-PHP-Project) distributed on a rolling-release basis, which is why the CPE record uses a wildcard version (cpe:2.3:a:n/a:cloudclassroom-php-project:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) and no affected or fixed version numbers are published. The weakness class is CWE-79, improper neutralization of input during web page generation; per the available reporting the flaw is the stored variant: the fname argument submitted through addnewstudent.php is stored and subsequently rendered without output encoding, so the script executes when a victim views the page that displays the stored value. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:P/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P) describes network reachability, no attack prerequisites, a user-interaction requirement and low integrity-only impact; the reported PR:N value means unauthenticated in the official vector, but the independent assessment notes that addnewstudent.php is an operator/add-record function and may in practice require an authenticated session - that prerequisite is not confirmed by the available sources and should be verified in a live instance. The assessor's CVSS 3.1 view (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N) is consistent with a low-impact stored XSS requiring a victim to view the stored content.

Stored XSS reachable over the network (AV:N/AC:L); addnewstudent.php implies an authenticated submit (PR:L), a victim must render the payload (UI:R), and execution in the victim's browser crosses a security authority (S:C) with low C/I impact.

Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionCVE.org
A security vulnerability has been detected in CloudClassroom-PHP-Project. This affects an unknown part of the file addnewstudent.php. Such manipulation of the argument fname leads to cross site scripting. The attack may be launched remotely. The exploit has been disclosed publicly and may be used. This product operates on a rolling release basis, ensuring continuous delivery. Consequently, there are no version details for either affected or updated releases. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.
