A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability has been identified in SourceCodester Class and Exam Timetabling System version 1.0. The issue arises in the file 'class.php', where the 'day' parameter is not properly validated or encoded, allowing attackers to inject malicious scripts.

To address this vulnerability, implement proper output encoding for user inputs, especially when displaying data on web pages.
