SourceCodester Task Reminder System Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability

A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability has been identified in SourceCodester Task Reminder System version 1.0. The issue arises in the Maintenance Section, where user input in the 'System Name' argument is not properly sanitized before being output, allowing for the injection of malicious scripts. This vulnerability can be exploited remotely, but requires authentication and user interaction.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability allows for cross-site scripting, where an attacker can inject malicious scripts that are executed in the context of the user's browser.

Reproduction

To reproduce this vulnerability, log into the application and navigate to the Maintenance Section. Once there, input a script into the 'System Name' field. The lack of proper input sanitization will allow the script to be executed, demonstrating the cross-site scripting vulnerability.
