AI Analysis

Impact

A defect in the handling of the "course" argument inside the BSIS1.php file allows an attacker to inject arbitrary client‑side script into the response. The flaw is a reflected cross‑site scripting bug (CWE‑79) that also potentially permits execution of server‑side code through the same parameter (CWE‑94). Because the injected script runs in the victim’s browser, it can compromise user credentials or session state, leading to account hijack or data exfiltration, while the underlying system itself remains unchanged.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects SourceCodester Class and Exam Timetabling System version 1.0. No other product versions are listed, and the specific function within BSIS1.php that is impacted is unnamed in the advisory.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.3 indicates a medium severity, and although the EPSS score is not available, the fact that the exploit code is publicly available suggests that attackers could readily target exposed instances. Because the flaw is remotely exploitable via an HTTP request containing a crafted "course" parameter and is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, the likelihood of exploitation remains moderate but should not be underestimated, especially for web sites that allow public access.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Deploy a layer that filters or sanitizes the "course" parameter, ensuring only expected values are accepted.
  • Configure a Web Application Firewall or browser security controls to block reflected XSS payloads.
  • Apply the latest vendor patch or update to a version that eliminates the BSIS1.php vulnerability once it is released.
