itsourcecode University Management System Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability

A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability has been identified in the itsourcecode University Management System version 1.0. The issue resides in the file '/view_result.php', where the 'vr' parameter is not properly validated or encoded before being output to users. This flaw allows remote attackers to inject and execute malicious scripts in the context of the user's browser, potentially leading to the theft of cookies, session tokens, or other sensitive information.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability allows for cross-site scripting, where injected scripts are executed in the context of the user's browser.

Reproduction

To reproduce this vulnerability, send a request to '/view_result.php' with a crafted 'vr' parameter that includes a script tag. The lack of proper input sanitization will result in the script being executed in the browser.

Remediation

It is recommended to implement proper input validation and output encoding for the 'vr' parameter. Additionally, consider using a Content Security Policy to restrict the execution of scripts.
