CVE-2026-4972 Details
Description
A security vulnerability has been detected in code-projects Online Reviewer System up to 1.0. Affected is an unknown function of the file /system/system/students/assessments/databank/btn_functions.php. Such manipulation of the argument Description leads to cross site scripting. The attack may be performed from remote. The exploit has been disclosed publicly and may be used.
A stored cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in Code-Projects Online Reviewer System in PHP, version 1.0. The issue resides in the file '/system/system/students/assessments/databank/btn_functions.php', where user input in the 'description' parameter is not properly validated or encoded before being saved to the database. This unfiltered input is later displayed in the application interface, allowing attackers to inject malicious HTML or JavaScript. Exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to session hijacking or unauthorized actions within the application.
It is recommended to sanitize and validate user input before storing it in the database, use prepared statements for database queries to prevent injection attacks, and implement output encoding to ensure that user-generated content is safely displayed in the application interface.
