Impact
The vulnerability resides in the /cims/modules/student/complaint.php page of the Coaching Management System. An attacker can craft a value for the complaint argument that is reflected into the page without proper filtering or encoding. The result is an uncontrolled client‑side script execution stored or reflected, allowing the attacker to run arbitrary JavaScript within the victim’s browser. This can lead to session hijacking, credential theft, or phishing infections but does not provide direct server‑side code execution or network takeover.
Affected Systems
code‑projects Coaching Management System version 1.0, specifically the Complaint Form module located at /cims/modules/student/complaint.php
Risk and Exploitability
The CVSS score of 5.1 indicates moderate severity. With no EPSS score available, the likelihood of exploitation is uncertain, and the flaw is not yet listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The vulnerability can be triggered from any remote client that can submit a complaint, implying a low barrier for attackers. Though it does not grant control of the server, the impact on confidentiality and integrity of user data via client‑side attack warrants mitigation.
