Technical details

A Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in code-projects Online Shoe Store 1.0 within the '/admin/admin_running.php' file. The vulnerability is caused by the application failing to properly sanitize or encode the 'product_name' parameter before reflecting it back to the user. A remote attacker can exploit this by injecting malicious JavaScript payloads. While some reports suggest high privileges are required, others indicate no login is necessary to reach the vulnerable parameter. Successful exploitation allows for the execution of arbitrary script code in the victim's browser, potentially leading to session hijacking or page defacement. A public proof-of-concept (PoC) is available.
