Technical details
A reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in code-projects Employee Management System 1.0 within the 'myprofile.php' component. The vulnerability is caused by improper neutralization of user-supplied input in the 'id' GET parameter, which is subsequently rendered into HTML attributes (such as navigation links and hidden input fields) without adequate escaping. A remote attacker can exploit this by crafting a malicious URL containing a JavaScript payload. If a victim visits this URL, the script executes in their browser context, potentially allowing for session cookie theft, account takeover, or DOM manipulation. A public exploit (Proof of Concept) has been disclosed.
