AI Analysis

Impact

A cross‑site scripting flaw exists in the admin/add-user.php script of code‑projects Assessment Management 1.0. The flaw is triggered by manipulating the "level" request argument, allowing an attacker to inject arbitrary script code into the page response. The vulnerability can be exploited over the network and the exploit code has already been released publicly, implying that remote attackers can use it immediately after discovering the target.

Affected Systems

The affected product is code‑projects Assessment Management, current stable release 1.0. No other versions or build variants are specified in the CVE record. Systems running this version without any patch or mitigation are vulnerable.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 4.8 points to a moderate impact. The EPSS score is not available, so the likelihood of exploitation cannot be quantified, but the fact that the vulnerability is publicly known and remotely exploitable increases the practical risk. The CVE is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, suggesting it has not yet been widely observed in the wild. Attackers can send crafted requests to the level parameter from any network location, resulting in XSS injection that may allow session hijacking, defacement, or delivery of malicious content to logged‑in administrators.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade code‑projects Assessment Management to a patched release that resolves the XSS flaw in admin/add-user.php
  • If an immediate upgrade is not possible, modify the level parameter handling to validate that it accepts only allowed numeric values and escape any user‑supplied content before rendering it in the HTML response
  • Ensure that only authenticated administrators can access admin/add-user.php and enforce proper session management and authentication controls to limit the damage an attacker could cause
