Technical details

The vulnerability is a reflected or stored XSS flaw in the Admin/add_drug.php file that fails to properly sanitize user input during drug record manipulation. An attacker can craft a malicious request via the admin interface to inject arbitrary JavaScript code, which executes when the page is viewed. This allows session hijacking, credential theft, or unauthorized modification of drug information without authentication bypass—the admin interface itself is likely protected but the XSS occurs within it.
