Technical details

A reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in code-projects Employee Management System 1.0 within the /myprofileup.php file. The application fails to properly sanitize or HTML-escape the 'id' GET parameter before embedding it into HTML attributes, specifically within navigation links and hidden input fields. A remote attacker can exploit this by crafting a malicious URL containing a JavaScript payload (e.g., using script tags or event handlers). If a victim visits this URL while authenticated, the script executes in their browser context, potentially leading to session hijacking or unauthorized account actions. A public exploit (PoC) is available.
