AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability allows attackers to inject malicious script through the title/announcement parameter in the new_announcement.php file. By manipulating that input, an attacker can execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of the web application, potentially stealing session cookies or performing actions on behalf of victims. The flaw is a classic reflected XSS and is exploitable remotely, with the attacker only needing to supply a crafted URL or form entry.

Affected Systems

SourceCodester Student Result Management System version 1.0, specifically the Announcement Module’s script/academic/core/new_announcement.php. The attack vector is the title/announcement input field that is not properly sanitized, allowing cross‑site scripting.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.3 indicates moderate severity. EPSS data is unavailable, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, but a public exploit is available, meaning remote attackers could use it easily if the affected software is in use.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade SourceCodester Student Result Management System to an official patch that sanitizes the title/announcement input, or apply a vendor update if one is released.
  • If an immediate update is not feasible, implement server‑side input validation to strip or encode JavaScript tags from the title and announcement fields, thereby preventing script execution.
  • As a temporary restriction, disable the Announcement Module or restrict access to the new_announcement interface until the patch or sanitization is applied.
