Description
A vulnerability was determined in projectworlds Online Examination System 1.0. The affected element is an unknown function of the file feedback.php of the component Feedback Form. Executing a manipulation of the argument Name/Subject can lead to cross site scripting. The attack may be launched remotely. The exploit has been publicly disclosed and may be utilized.
A stored cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in ProjectWorlds Online Examination System version 1.0. The issue resides in the feedback.php file, specifically within the Feedback Form component. The vulnerability arises because the Name and Subject fields are not properly sanitized before being saved and later displayed on the admin dashboard. This lack of sanitation allows for the execution of JavaScript in the context of the administrator's session. The vulnerability can be exploited remotely, and details of the exploit have been publicly disclosed.
To address this vulnerability, apply output encoding, such as using htmlspecialchars() or an equivalent function, to all feedback fields both when storing them and when rendering them on the admin dashboard.
