Technical details

A stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the Registration Handler component of the Restaurant Management System. The root cause is the failure to sanitize the 'Username' argument in 'login_register.php' before storing it in the database, and subsequently failing to apply output encoding (such as htmlspecialchars) when rendering the session username in 'index.php'. An attacker can register a new account with a JavaScript payload as the username. When any user (including the attacker) logs in and visits the index page, the payload is executed in the context of their browser session. This can be used to steal session cookies or perform unauthorized actions. As of the advisory date, the project has not responded to the issue report.
