code-projects Exam Form Submission XSS Flaws
2026-03-23
A Stored or Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in code-projects Exam Form Submission version 1.0, specifically in the /admin/update_s5.php file where the 'sname' parameter is not properly sanitized. An authenticated attacker with high privileges can inject malicious JavaScript code through this parameter, which will execute in the context of other users' browsers when they interact with the affected page. A public proof-of-concept exploit is available on GitHub, and the vulnerability has a low CVSS score of 2.4 due to high privilege requirements and user interaction dependency, but the public disclosure increases practical exploitation likelihood.
