Technical details

A stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in code-projects Assessment Management 1.0 within the admin/view-users.php file. The application fails to properly sanitize or encode user-controlled fields—including name, surname, email, and username—before rendering them in the administrative user list. An attacker with the ability to add or modify user data (requiring high privileges according to CVSS metrics) can inject arbitrary JavaScript payloads. When an administrator views the affected page, the script executes in their browser context, potentially leading to session hijacking or unauthorized data access. A public exploit (PoC) has been disclosed.
